A teenager driver who filmed himself driving and caused a quadriplegic injury to a single mother was sentenced to two years in a young offenders' institution. Critics argue that the sentence does not reflect the severity of the crime. George Taylor, 19, is accused of making two calls, sending texts, and recording videos while driving, leading to a crash that left Catherine Davies , 51, quadriplegic and requiring lifelong care.
Catherine Davies, a fitness instructor, now relies on a tracheostomy and an 'eye-gazing' machine for communication. Norman Brennan, a former police officer and director of the Law and Order Foundation, criticized the leniency of the sentence, stating the crime’s severity is not reflected in the punishment
