He has also been ordered to sit an extended driving test.
The collision on Evesham Road, Norton on May 25, involved four vehicles – a tractor towing a muck spreader, two cars – one driven by Arnold – and a motorbike.
Sadly, the motorbike rider Allister Homes from Cheltenham was killed at the scene.
Arnold, formerly of Evesham Road, Norton and currently of HMP Oakwood, Wolverhampton was driving a black Jeep Renegade when it collided with the back of a tractor coming in the opposite direction.
This manoeuvre resulted in him losing control of the car striking Mr Homes’ motorbike which was coming the other way.
A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said at the time: “The driver and four passengers from the Jeep were taken to hospital with injuries.
“The motorcyclist, a man in his 40s, was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.”
Arnold was found guilty on August 7, 2025 of an unprovoked attack on a man in Cheltenham following a trial at Cirencester Courthouse.
