LETTERS – A one year ban is disgraceful

I can’t believe what I am reading! Charlie Telfer was driving on the wrong side of the road, he hit a car head on, his passenger had life threatening injuries, several surgeries, internal bleeding plus the other car passengers needing hospital treatment as well and he only received a one year ban! That’s disgraceful.
If he hit a motorcycle head on that rider would have been killed. So, what has he learnt from just a one year ban? Nothing! I’m sorry but that penalty is just ridiculous.
