Having a drug habit is a health issue more than anything.... if it's possible to get 'sectioned' under the mental health act, is possible to be sectioned under a.....um "you've got a drug problem act?" I think this sort of thing should be treated as a health issue rather than crime... the court should have insisted he gets to rehab..!?
I disagree - he's a criminal recklessly driving a car whilst out of his head on drugs, he put the lives of innocent road users and pedestrians at risk. If there had been a pedestrian between his bumper and the Snappy Snaps shop he'd have killed them.
