Driver, 22, given suspended sentence in Oxford over dangerous driving and cannabis
An Albanian man, 22, was sentenced at Oxford Crown Court for dangerous driving in Abingdon Road, Oxford, with cannabis also found on the same occasion. He received a 13-month prison term suspended for 18 months, a 12-month driving ban, six penalty points, and the cannabis was ordered destroyed.
Adhurin Rama, 22, of no fixed address, was seen driving a grey Hyundai in
Abingdon Road, Oxford, on 4 September 2026.[1]He pleaded guilty to dangerous
driving, driving without third-party insurance, driving without a licence and
failing to stop when ordered to do so by a police officer.[1]He also pleaded
guilty to possessing a class B drug, namely cannabis, on the same occasion.[1]He was sentenced at Oxford Crown Court on 6 November, assisted throughout by an
Albanian interpreter.[1]
His barrister, Gordana Austin, said he had spent two months in custody, had no
previous convictions and intended to work once his immigration status was
settled.[1]The judge, Recorder Alexander McGregor, told him his status in the
country was precarious and that his conduct showed disregard for the rules of
the road and created danger for other people.[1]
Rama was given a 13-month prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, and banned
from driving for 12 months with six penalty points.[1]The court ordered the
cannabis forfeited and destroyed, and made no order for costs.[1]
Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
No weight or amount was published for the cannabis he possessed, so no quantity can be recorded.
The 4 September 2026 driving date is given in the article; the 6 November 2026 sentence date is used as the incident date.
The article gives no arrest date, though the mitigation says he had spent two months in custody.
The injuries the mitigation refers to are not described; they arose from the dangerous driving, not from the cannabis offence.
Only one account of the hearing was found; no police statement or second outlet reporting of the case was opened.
The page photo is a stock image of Abingdon Road, not of the defendant or the incident.
The article does not say whether the driving ban and penalty points were imposed on the dangerous driving or another motoring offence, so only the combined sentence is recorded.
