... look, cut him a little slack, he's already getting cained enough.
****.. he's lost his licence for nearly 3 years, and for somebody who is actually a reasonable aussie bloke -- to face jail time its not like he shot somebody, broke into somebodys house, raped somebody, robbed a bank, etc. And for some, the thrill of doing crazy shit is worth more than the possibility of getting caught. Its hard to explain to some, but I know the sort of thing, you know its wrong and yet you can't help it because its a rush and releases all those crazy endorphins and things which you can actually get hooked on as much as any drug. So you do it more and more to get that same rush. Anyhow, I leave that to the psychologists out there - but for some types of people its just what happens and why you get serial Base Jumpers and shit like that, that know they'll get caught but do it anyhow. And its not simply a matter of "shouldn't", "wrong", etc.
To me, unless you kill or injure somebody on the roads jail time should never be mandatory. But well, often I guess it is the *only* way you'll stop people like that just getting in and doing it again (as shown).
