Any person who drives a motor vehicle on a road recklessly, or at a speed or in a manner which is dangerous to the public, having regard to all the circumstances of the case, including the nature, condition, and use of the road, and the amount of traffic which is, or which might reasonably be expected to be on the road at the time, is guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to a fine of $10,000 and imprisonment for 2 years and, in the case of a second or subsequent conviction, to a fine of $20,000 and imprisonment for 4 years.

On a first conviction under subsection (1), the court shall order —

On a second or subsequent conviction under subsection (1), the court shall order that such person be disqualified from holding or obtaining a licence to drive any motor vehicle for such period, not being less than 12 months from the date of such conviction, as the court may think proper unless the court, having regard to the lapse of time since the date of the previous or last conviction or for any other special reasons (which shall be set out in the order of the court), thinks fit to order otherwise.

Any police officer may without a warrant arrest any person committing an offence under this section.
