This sentence for these offences is appalling.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-north-east-wales-40668332After drinking ten pints, Poole got into his car and drove. Poole, from Glyn Ceiriog, admitted causing serious injury by dangerous driving and was jailed for three years on Thursday. He was also banned from driving for five-and-a-half years after admitting failing to provide blood and breath tests, failing to stop and driving without insurance. Mr Davies, a keen rugby player, suffered a broken leg, shattered shoulder blade, dislocated collar bone, lacerations to the head, bleeding to the kidney and bruising to his lungs and liver and now uses a wheelchair.
The court heard Poole had convictions including three instances of drink-driving, driving while disqualified, careless driving and failing to stop and was on licence at the time of the crash after being released from prison.
