Cadbury worker Manjivan Purewal had taken his car out while on a break from the chocolate manufacturers was sentenced last week. The judge gave him 3 years imprisonment on the hope that he learns the risks of reckless driving. He had raced another car at 120mph through Birmingham before crashing and seriously injuring a husband and wife. The couple had suffered serious injuries as Mr O’Sullivan had a broken collar bone and pelvis and Mrs O’Sullivan had injuries to her spine.
Purewal’s vehicle had collided with the O’Sullivan’s car by Linden Road, in Bournville. Sentencing Purewal, Judge Philip Parker noted that driving on our roads is a privilege not a right and that he raced his car in a 30mph road which was in excess of 100 mph over the limit. Due to this Purewal was disqualified from driving for 5 years and told that he would have to re-take his test.
