Davison Weir pleaded guilty to three counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm.
The Crown sought a 30-month jail sentence, while the defence requested a conditional sentence.
The court found the offences exceptionally serious due to extreme speed in a residential area, resulting in severe, life-threatening injuries to two children and serious injuries to another driver.
Despite mitigating factors such as a guilty plea, genuine remorse, and good character, the court emphasized that denunciation and deterrence were paramount.
A conditional sentence was deemed disproportionately lenient given the intentional risk-taking and degree of responsibility.
The court imposed a sentence of 12 months imprisonment, followed by 2 years of probation, a 4-year driving prohibition, and victim surcharges.
