An offence of causing serious injury by dangerous driving is an ‘either way offence’ meaning it can be dealt with in either the Magistrates or Crown Court. Where the case will be heard will depend on the specific circumstances. If convicted at the Crown Court is a maximum of 5 years imprisonment and the maximum sentence in the Magistrates Court is 6 months imprisonment. In addition to the custodial element of the penalty, the Court will also order a driving disqualification for a minimum of 2 years as well as an extended re-test.
