Peter William Wright, 23, failed to learn his lesson when he was caught driving while disqualified on May 29, before taking to the wheel yet again less than nine hours later. 

According to police facts tendered to the court, police spotted Wright travelling in a black Commodore around 20 kilometres above the speed around 6.30pm at Turvey Park. 

In wet conditions, Wright accelerated through a roundabout, causing the vehicle to slide sideways and fishtail. 

The police facts stated the incident was a recipe for disaster. 

“The actions of the accused posed an extreme risk to the public,” the police facts stated. 

“The fishtail was outside a petrol station with numerous customers inside.” 

Pleading guilty to two counts of driving while disqualified and one count of dangerous driving, Wright was ruled unsuitable for community service. 

Police prosecutor Kieran Drever told the court a custodial penalty was appropriate. 

Solicitor Zac Tankard asked magistrate Erin Kennedy to consider a lengthy good behaviour bond or suspended sentence. 

Wright was sentenced to a seven month suspended jail sentence, fined $500 and could be off the road for up to four years.
