SUM/LIC/22/24

R v Edson Antonio Salazar Aguayo

Defendant pleaded guilty to driving with excess alcohol and driving without motor vehicle licence. The England and Wales sentencing guideline for excess alcohol (drive/ attempt to drive) applied. For 84ug/100 ml of breath, starting point is a Band C fine, with a sentencing range of a Band C fine to a low level community order. In consideration of the totality principle, court passed no separate sentence for second offence of driving without motor vehicle licence, and treated this second offence as an aggravating factor to the more serious offence of excess alcohol. Court also considered these aggravating factors: previous conviction in 2019 for excess alcohol, defendant was carrying passengers, and there was an unacceptable standard of driving. Court considered expressed remorse and personal circumstances in mitigation. Applied an upward adjustment from the starting point of a Band C fine of 150% of weekly income to 175% of weekly income which was a fine of £1,137.00 Guilty plea considered and 1/3 discount applied. Fine reduced to £758.00 Prosecutions costs of £150.00 ordered; disqualified from driving for 40 months and licence endorsed. Total of £908 due. Payment terms made: £83.00 due by 31 December 2024 and £75.00 on the last day of each month until £908 is paid.
