Damien Stansfield, 30, has been sent to prison after being caught driving whilst banned for the 14th time<\/strong>. His previous ban was only 18 months ago and was for 38 months, but Stansfield didn\u2019t think it was necessary to wait out the whole ban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His defence lawyer seems to be new to this game. Either that, or a worrying new path of blame is manifesting itself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

He was carrying out some work for a customer. He normally has a friend who would test-drive the vehicle but he was not available on that day. He was put under some pressure to return the vehicle as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He made a foolish decision to drive it. He accepts the offence and was fully co-operative at the police station. He accepts he needs some help and advice. He felt under pressure not to let the customer down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was let down by the person who normally does the driving.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

So, Stansfield\u2019s decision to drive whilst banned – for the 14th time, remember<\/strong> – was some other guy\u2019s fault!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, magistrates took this for the load of crap that it was and jailed Stansfield for 17 weeks. He was also banned from driving for 4 years this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
