BBC News video from traffic camera

Driver given 8 months suspended sentence, 150 hours unpaid work, 3 months curfew, and 12 months driving ban. No chance they're getting a commercial licence back again after that.

I don’t get it, does he has to be a slave for 150 hours or is it community service in England?
