Aggravated vehicle taking

We highlight concerns about the proposed guidelines, particularly regarding dangerous driving, damage caused, and injury or death resulting from such offences. We note that while the guidelines mirror those for dangerous driving, there should be clear distinctions to account for the aggravation of vehicle taking. Additionally, we express concern over the disparity in sentencing for offences causing varying degrees of harm, especially life-changing injuries. We suggest closer alignment with existing driving standards guidelines and emphasise the importance of including factors such as disqualification periods in sentencing.
