A sentence of four years' imprisonment for negligently causing serious injury involving driving at 127 km/h in a 60 km/h zone causing life-threatening injuries is high but within range. A total effective sentence of six years six months for combined offences of negligently causing serious injury, dangerous driving while pursued by police, failing to render assistance, and being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm is towards the top of the range but not manifestly excessive where there is significant discrete criminality in each offence and the offender has relevant prior convictions.
