Drunk Driver

You'll love his answer to the judge.



And this is a real case, not a floating internet 'news' story that never happened.

Okay then. He had nothing else to do

 

[Jazzy]

I don't find his excuse to the judge the least bit funny and this drunk could have killed innocent people.

 

[Howard]

I agree and I find his sentence derisory to be honest.



These kind of jerks need to be discouraged and that means making an example of them.

 

[DrLeftover]

I totally agree.... And he should have done some serious jail time....



but his flat statement that he'd been drinking for four days was at least honest.

This is horrible :/



he needed to be off the streets

If you're gonna commit a crime - do it in NZ, the penalties here are pathetic to say the least. When I was doing a ride-along we pulled over a guy who appeared to be over the limit and found out he had 8 previous drink-driving convictions. This time however, the evidential breath test revealed he was only 52mcg under the legal limit.
