Sheffieldtoday.net/The Star reports that Hamed may apply to be released on a tagging system as early as September. Than further reported that the road safety charity RoadPeace reacted with outrage to the news of early release from prison, and has called for Hamed to serve at least half his 15 month court appointed sentence.

A spokesman was quoted in the The Star as saying: "Releasing Hamed on a tagging system is a very expensive way to deal with him. We don't think the taxpayer should be footing this, especially given the seriousness of the injuries suffered by his victim."

Steve Smith, Hamed's Lawyer confirmed Hamed will apply for tagging as soon as he can.

Smith was quoted: "He could apply for home tagging within four months and if it is made available to him he will almost certainly go for it. He has a job and a stable home life and has somewhere to go when he is released so it is not as if he is a danger to the public in any way. We are hoping this will enable him to be out for the birth of his third child but at this stage it is unclear."
