Worst Driver Of The Week

[gdogzgtr]

Caught person doing 140-160+ in 80 Zone who also went more than double the alcohol limit. The Drink driving ban is canceled out by the speeding ban. Impound, 1100 in fines and no driving for 12 months.

Lucky for him he didn't kill anyone. I'm glad I was doing laser duties when things were quiet and now have him off the road!

He wants to contest it saying his Honda Jazz doesn't go that fast.

you boys should be allowed to legally tazer the shit outta them LOL.. maybe this will teach them not to drink and drive.. anyone who repeats drink driving or is double the limit should automatically have the alcohol breathalizer installed to start their cars..

If the speeding fine overrides the alcohol.. Does that mean if he gets off (by chance) that he can't be charged with the alcohol? And LOL as if a Jazz can't go 140...

The speeding doesn't over ride the alcohol as such but when you lose it for 12 months for speeding the 11 month suspension for the alcohol becomes irrelevant. Should be served one after the other not concurrently but what can you do. I guess they don't expect to have people drink driving and speeding to such an extent.

[Wheezy]

Guess the media get to point the finger at 'hoon' driving rather than drink driving too

Brumby / Lay gets more ammo that way

[Russman]

What about the drink driving offence being criminal? Does he still get a criminal conviction?

[paulR32gtr]

Do they still need to go on interlock once they get their license back Graeme?

Contesting a Jazz doing 140?.. even magistrates know about vtec these days.

The guy drives a Jazz...I can't half blame him for wanting to end his life and take some innocent lives at the same time!

I agree, should also be the same for jail sentences, sick of f**kers being found guilty for 6 or 7 offences but only doing a few months because thats what the longest sentence is, in reallity, if someone knows there going to jail for 12 months why dont they go on a crime spree, there not going to get a longer sentence.

was it eps?

lol sif he's gonna get off

[bozodos]

i was thinking of mr eps lol

oh some of the posts in here remind me of rants to the Herald Sun. Given that most of you don't know anything regarding the context of the offences (apart from Graeme), perhaps you shouldn't be so quick to condemn?

TBQH I'd rather get done for drink driving than speeding, everyone I know who has gotten done has gotten off a LOT lighter with suspensions / fines, apart from the whole interlock thing.

So...you're saying he probably had a good excuse to be doing 60-80km/h over the speed limit while drunk? Well forgive us for assuming he was a baddie! Obvious devil's advocate troll is obvious.

[JEPPE]

Gah! I have zero tolerance for drink drivers. Including family. Laws should be tougher imo.

no trolling brah, i'm just saying that you've been given some facts without context at all, and the usual white knight types give the usual reaction along the lines of "BURN THE WITCH1!!!!!!1!!!!"

if it was a member on here who had been done for an accidental clutch slip / wheelspin / impoundment, you'd all be up in arms, so I'm just pointing out the obvious here

speaking of 'obvious', it's quite obvious a little clutch slip does not lead to you being propelled to 60-80km/h over the speed limit nor does it put enough alcohol in your blood to send you over 0.05. Being over the legal blood-alcohol limit and while doing 60-80km/h over the speed limit are not little split second mistakes as your clutch example so the comparison does not work hence people probably would stick up for that person where this is complete disreguard for everyone including the driver themselves.

^ Well said.

maybe it was boz in the car.. and he was travelling with one of his gf's.. and he knows that with his gf in the car.. there is no way power to weight ratio can get that Jazz up to 140..
