Bridget Shaw made the comments as Dominic Fernandes (24) and Leonardo Silva (22) appeared in court following an accident which the police said could have been fatal.
Both were yesterday banned from driving for six months and fined £1,500 and £2,500 respectively.
The court heard that at about 11pm on 28 November last year, honorary police officers were at the Faulkner Fisheries car park in St Ouen when they saw a convoy of eight to ten vehicles driving very close to each other.
They did not catch up with the group but were later informed by the police control room and a passing motorist that there had been an incident in Rue de Val Bachelier.
At the scene, officers found that a Hyundai, driven by Silva, had hit a bank and flipped onto its roof and that a VW Golf, driven by Fernandes, had crashed into the upturned car.
Centenier João Camara, prosecuting, described both vehicles as ‘high performance’ and said they sustained significant damage.
Both drivers were arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving but were charged with driving without due care and attention. They pleaded guilty.
Advocate Lorraine McClure, defending Fernandes, said her client was ‘extremely remorseful’ and asked Mrs Shaw not to disqualify her client from driving as this would lead to him losing his job.
‘He admits the loss of control due to speed and due to the conditions on the evening. He should have been more aware of the handling of his vehicle,’ she said.
Silva, representing himself, said that he did not know the road well and that he should have slowed his vehicle down.
He added that he was ‘very apologetic’ to those involved and had been training and working hard in his job, a role which he would lose if he lost his licence.
In sentencing, Mrs Shaw said: ‘I have to say that, yet again, people are in this court for some shocking driving and it is absolutely unacceptable to drive in this way on public roads. They are not there to be used as your personal playground or for entertainment.
‘This type of driving has to stop. Whether it is just to you two or to others as well, the message has to get out there that this is too dangerous and is not a form of entertainment.’
Disqualifying them both for six months, she added: ‘I have considered the impact this will have on your careers but that is the price you pay if you decide to drive this way on Jersey’s roads.’
Speaking after the sentencing, Centenier Paul Battrick, the arresting officer, said: ‘I want to send out a very strong message from St Ouen honorary police that we will be out all day and all night to stop this type of behaviour from going on.
‘It is affecting the residents, it is not safe and it is extremely lucky that no one was killed in this incident.’
