Ben Robson, a 24-year-old plumber from Croydon, was sentenced to 100 hours of unpaid community work after pleading guilty to dangerous driving and possession of cannabis. In March 2023, he attempted to evade police by driving onto the pavement, causing a police car to collide with him. The court highlighted the danger his reckless actions posed to the public. Recorder Philip Kolvin KC noted Robson's youth and lack of prior convictions as factors in deciding against a custodial sentence, instead opting for a community order and an 18-month driving ban.
Recorder Philip Kolvin KC stated, 'You were young at the time, relatively immature and have no previous convictions,' emphasizing the court's decision to opt for community service.
The court emphasized that Robson's dangerous driving behavior was unacceptable, with convictions potentially leading to serious harm, underscoring the need for accountability.
