In joined cases of drunk, unlicensed driving and a separate instance of unlicensed driving, our client received a suspended prison sentence.

Issues and ruling
The court pointed to unfavorable factors, such as driving again while under investigation. It nevertheless suspended the sentence, taking into account that our client admitted the offenses and showed remorse.
Outcome
Our client received 2 years in prison, suspended for 3 years, with 120 hours of community service and a 40-hour safe-driving course.
