I've never sailed a pheasant. Sounds tricky.

I wouldn't recommend shooting it while sailing as they do not like it.

True story.
Was fishing a lake surrounded by woods in which pheasants were bred for the shooting season.
December , and the shooters were out going round the lake. Lead flying into the lake, all sorts of bangs etc.
A pheasant flew out over the lake in front of me and then plunged into the water. Poor bugger , I thought.
Then I saw it swim/scamper across the water into and under the bank some yards to my right.
The shooters moved on and quiet returned
The pheasant, emerged, scrabble part up the bank and flew off!
coincidence .....or clever animal?

Na pheasants are utterly stupid
As someone who drives a lot on country lanes I would concur with this statement. They really are empty headed.

Case being heard today, from I've read the drug charges have been dropped so expect a fine, community service and she'll be off to Dubai for some winter sun and photo ops.

Damn, hoped the update would be she is being rightly locked up and banned for life. She will hurt someone one day, or worse.

Yep. Drove past one on the verge a few years back. It proceeded to try and fly off at that moment and jumped straight up at my car, took the wing mirror clean off and vanished over the hedge somewhere

Pointless, she will never stick to the ban so will end up in jail soon anyway!

Water off a ducks back.
Been banned on 5 occasions previously. Admitted taking drugs and alcohol. No insurance.
Great opportunity for the courts to send a ‘get tough’ message but completely missed.
Does anyone really believe she won’t be behind the wheel again in the New Year?

The judge said it was one of the worst cases she had seen yet proceeded to do precisely diddly about it. The sort of judgement that just makes me feel angry. Let's hope the local police keep a very close eye out for her and stop her hurting anyone going forwards.

My most memorable golfing related pheasant incident was at Formby many years ago in a meet of a different forum. Probably 95% of my non-tee/non-putt shots were preceded by the characteristic, and off-putting, squawk from a pheasant. It was as if the same one was following rounding and warning its' mates! By half way around, it was just as off-putting when there wasn't a squawk!
And non-golfing...Was returning from umpiring hockey at Bradford College many years ago when the car a hundred yards or so ahead slammed on the anchors and there was an explosion of feathers. Poor single female driver was pretty shocked and while I was 'consoling' her a Range Rover came round the corner, sussed the circumstances, reversed back, picked up the carcass and carried on down the road! That was so humorous, her shock disappeared! Having hit a well-fed pigeon at motorway speed (on the M4 by Leigh Delaware services on my way to an interview in Wales) I can understand her reaction!

Appropriate penalty, while (perhaps) saving taxpayers money.

It might not save money in the long run, assuming, as before, she won't have learned her lesson and goes on to kill someone
She has banned her from driving. She was already banned so that is pointless, she clearly doesn't take notice of that.
This was offence number 5 I believe so not a first timer or an oops, my mistake.
What has to happen before she is sent to jail, keeping the public safe for a short period and possibly giving her the shock she needs? Don't forget, she tested positive for drink and drugs at the scene, her car was upside down in a ditch ?
Given her prior offending, this sentence is woefully inadequate but, as I said way back at the beginning of this thread it takes an enormous amount before the judicial system in the country passes a custodial sentence on women offenders, especially for motoring offences. As such, the fact this awful woman had dodged the bullet yet again comes as no surprise.
The odds must be very short on her offending yet again and seeing her suspended sentence invoked. Let’s just hope she doesn’t kill somebody in the process.

I would have given her 5 years, not suspended and make sure she serves all 5
Good luck with that, Bob. If memory serves, the maximum custodial sentence for both drug driving and disqualified driving is six months.
