A man who took a dispute to the road has earned a one-year driving prohibition for his actions.
Brandon James Peters was also sentenced to a six-month conditional sentence order followed by 18 months probation and assessed a $200 victim surcharge for the June 30 incident.
According to witnesses, he rammed his car into the side of a pickup truck and continued to push it over three lanes of Highway 97 and over the curb near Houghtaling Road.
RCMP had said it appeared Peters deliberately T-boned the pickup following a dispute with the truck's occupants, a man and a woman. Neither of the drivers were injured but the woman in the pickup received minor injuries.
Other drivers had to hit their brakes to avoid getting caught in the tangle and traffic was impeded for a number of hours as RCMP collected evidence at the scene.
Conditional sentence orders are served at home with conditions such as a curfew. Violating those conditions can lead to jail time.
The sentence was issued in Prince George provincial court on Dec. 18 on a count of dangerous driving under the Criminal Code.
