一名痴呆病人因一辆他不再驾驶的未投保的汽车被定罪,这引发了对司法系统改革的呼声。 A dementia patient was convicted for an uninsured car he no longer drove, sparking calls for justice system reform.

一名77岁患有严重痴呆症的男子在大曼彻斯特州Middleton被判有罪,因为他在诊断后于2024年12月停止驾驶的汽车没有投保保险。 A 77-year-old man with severe dementia in Middleton, Greater Manchester, was convicted for not insuring a car he stopped driving in December 2024 after his diagnosis. 他没有在2025年8月收到DVLA罚款的记忆,无法管理自己的事务。 He had no memory of receiving a DVLA fine in August 2025 and was unable to manage his affairs. 在不要求检察官审查减轻处罚函的快速通道制度下进行起诉,法院以他的名义接受了认罪,并给予六个月的有条件释放,而不是罚款。 Prosecuted under a fast-track system that does not require prosecutors to review mitigation letters, the court accepted a guilty plea on his behalf and gave a six-month conditional discharge instead of a fine. 该案引起了对处理弱势个人的制度的公正性的批评,促使人们呼吁进行改革和政府审查单一司法程序。 The case has drawn criticism over the fairness of the system in handling vulnerable individuals, prompting calls for reform and a government review of the Single Justice Procedure.
