A young driver who caused a horrific two-car smash which left three people seriously injured was speeding because he wanted to get to a restaurant as it was Ramadan.
Ihtisham Shabir, 24, who was jailed for three years, said that his only explanation was that the Ramadan fast had come to an end that day and he was rushing to a restaurant to eat.
