AN asylum seeker driving without a licence when he paralysed a grandmother in a horror smash walked free from court — without even a fine.
Peshrau Mohammed, 31, overtook a car and a tanker in one crazy move, crashing his Vauxhall Corsa head-on into Vivian Sadler’s Vauxhall Tigra.
Mrs Sadler, heading home from visiting her new grandchild, was crippled from the neck down.
She is still in intensive care 11 months later and may never return home to Bedale, North Yorks.
But Mohammed, of Middlesbrough, was charged only with careless driving, which has a maximum penalty of a £2,500 fine.
He escaped even that, getting a night-time curfew for 90 days and told to pay £45 court costs.
Northallerton JPs heard Mohammed entered Britain in October 2002.
He admitted careless driving and driving without a licence.
A relative of Mrs Sadler, 65, said: "She got a life sentence. He got a slap on the wrist."

Will he be in the New Year's Honours List ? He is clearly a very special individual...........
At least the magistrate did not make Mrs Sadler pay him compensation. Why wasn't this in The Crown Court ?
