An aggregate sentence of 4 years and 3 months' imprisonment for aggravated dangerous driving causing grievous bodily harm (indicative 3 years 9 months) and dangerous driving during police pursuit (indicative 12 months) was upheld where the offence involved two statutory aggravating factors under s 52A(7) — prescribed concentration of alcohol (0.155-0.180) and speed exceeding the limit by more than 45 km/h — notwithstanding a strong subjective case including youth, good character, remorse and good prospects of rehabilitation. The unusual combination of two aggravating factors explained the sentence's position at the higher end of the statistical range.
