They go to jail. 

Eric Raymond Taylor failed to complete 80 hours of community service, which was given to him in lieu of a jail sentence in May 2013 for speeding past police in his car at around 170km/h on The Escort Way. 

In Orange Local Court on Wednesday, it was revealed Taylor had failed to complete the last 20 hours of his sentence so the magistrate, Terry Lucas, sentenced him to one month in prison. 

The Manildra man had numerous traffic offences on his record including negligent driving, failing to give way, taking part in a race and a mid-range drink-driving conviction. 

The initial offence ended after police chased Taylor’s vehicle for four kilometres, in November 2012, until he eventually gave up and pulled over on the side of the road near Hillside Orchard. 

In evidence presented to the court police said Taylor admitted he was travelling at a speed over 160km/h in a 100km/h zone, and knew he was breaking the law by failing to pull over when police activated their lights and sirens.

“I know all about Skye’s Law,” he told police.

He was a P-plater at the time with a maximum speed limit of 90km/h and he was under the influence of alcohol when the legal blood-alcohol limit for P-platers was zero. 

After he was breathtested at the side of the road and recorded a mid-range reading, Taylor told police he had consumed between seven and 10 stubbies of beer at a friend’s house before getting in his vehicle and being stopped by police at 6.30am in the morning.

In May his solicitor Mick Madden argued against a jail sentence because he was the primary income provider for two young children.
