But again it is the discretion of judge whether to put him behind bars or not.

Within 1 month & maximum 2 month, he needs to follow up with the police station for the court dates. Most of time judgement comes in absence and by the time your friend will come to know even the appeal period will lapse.

Since he is not involved in any accident, it will be only penalty and impounding license for 1-3 months if he presence during judgement time and accept his mistake and request for leniency.

Since his case is now referred to court, car can be released by company PRO until the judgement comes out.

Even though it is completely up to the court judgement, but most of the cases, If your friend is not involved in any accident then he will be fined and jailed for a month. If he is also involved in accident then he will get deportation after end of jail term, but again it is fully depends on decision of court.

There is no set rule .. Some have been deported but in many cases the car has been impounded for a fixed period and the culprit has been fined and jailed for a term.

The best thing is to ask the court
