Speaking after the case, Sergeant Joe McGregor, from the Surrey and Sussex Roads Policing Unit, said: "Lee’s driving was reckless and dangerous.

“We know that one in three collisions in Sussex occur because drivers are going too fast. Speeding is one of the main reasons why people are killed or seriously injured on our roads.

"Lee is incredibly lucky that he did not cause a fatality that night, but this collision continues to have a lasting impact on the victim.

"We are pleased that a dangerous driver has been taken off our roads."
