A court had heard how he drove off without helping the riders in the early hours of 10 September last year, despite realising he had hit something.
A hearing at Lincoln Crown Court has now heard that the guidelines used to sentence Bradbury, of Balmoral Drive Sleaford, were too high.
His sentence has therefore been reduced from 45 to 36 months.

Market Rasen residents angry at a decision to build a "dry" leisure facility rather than a swimming pool are expected to present a petition to the council within the next few days.
West Lindsey District Council announced the plans back in June, but campaigners say the facility is not wanted and are instead calling for a "much-needed" swimming pool.
The nearest pool is currently in Wragby, which is about eight miles away.
A petition against the planned new leisure centre, organised by the Market Rasen Action Group, has so far gathered about 2,000 signatures.

The demolition of a 100-year-old Lincoln factory used during World War One to produce aircraft engines has been given the go-ahead despite calls for at least part of the building to be protected.
Image source, Richard Humphrey/GeographOfficers at City of Lincoln Council have approved an application by John Rumsey, of Riverstone Dev 1, to level the city's former Ruston Works (pictured) and William Sinclair buildings.
Objectors to the demolition called for all or part of the building to be preserved.
Ruston Factory opened in 1918 and was the country's largest producer of aircraft engines during World War One before it was put up for sale by developers.
It was last in use as a fertiliser manufacturer in 2015 when it was the home of William Sinclair Horticulture.
The application from Mr Rumsey said the works would include the demolition of "all existing buildings...hard-standings and below-ground foundations".
"All of the existing buildings on site are derelict and have been subject to considerable vandalism," it adds.
"The state of the existing buildings represent a health and safety risk and are unfit for occupation."
It should be mainly dry this afternoon with a fair amount of cloud but also a few spells of hazy sunshine too.
The odd shower is possible later.
A paratrooper who survived some of the the worst-ever battlefield injuries will join Keeley Donovan in presenting tonight's Inside Out programme.
South Yorkshire solider, Ben Parkinson, is taking part in a special programme commemorating the centenary of the end of World War One.
Lance Bombardier Parkinson, from Doncaster, lost both legs and suffered more than 40 injuries in a landmine blast in Afghanistan in 2006.
Ben says: "I was so proud to be part of Inside Out’s programme marking the 100th anniversary of the Great War.
"These men and women were braver than we can ever imagine - they endured so much for our future, but for them it was never over.
"No generation have ever given more and we should never forget."
You can see BBC Inside Out Yorkshire and Lincolnshire at 19:30 on BBC One tonight.
