Only if they're from Collingwood

I am not saying to hang the lad

Just the behaviour was 'stupid' when the club's sponsor is TAC

Punky, don't you think it was stupid behaviour in the circumstances?

Drink driving is stupid full stop.
I would rather see a kid learn his lesson early on, rather than read about someone in their 40's blowing 3 times the legal limit.

Agreed

Hopefully a lesson learned

or perhaps even killing someone

Article in yesterday's Herald-Sun(somewhat edited by myself),

'More than a third of Transport Accident Commission car fleet has incurred speeding
or traffic fines in the last two years.

Despite the latest TAC advertising campaign - "Take a Damn Good Look at Yourself"
- documents show the road safety body's drivers have incurred 37 fines.

The worst breach recorded in a TAC car was a staffer caught doing 74 km/h
in a 60km/h zone, which attracted a $750 fine.

Three TAC staff were repeat offenders and 26 drivers were nabbed for speeding
at less than 10km/h over the limit - despite the State Government-owned TAC
spending millions of taxpayer dollars encouraging Victorians to "Wipe Off Five".

The revelations come after the TAC axed a $500,000 sponsorship of Collingwood
football club over rookie Sharrod Wellingham's drink-driving ticket last week.

Senior managers were among the offenders.

Though all those involved in the offences could have faced dismissal,they had only been
given mandatory counselling.'

Nah, the TAC would only be interested in sponsoring a Victorian side

He moved a car so it wouldn't get a parking fine, hardly crime of the century. We all would have done something minor like that knowing full well the consequences because we wouldn't expect to get caught.

Didn't Jacobs at the Hawks get done for something similarly minor like listening to the radio in his car when pissed. It would be nice to see the cops use some discretion.

I find this a little hard to believe.. Why would Simon Taylor and Buddy get in the car to help him "move" it??

the plot thinnens... if that's true, the TAC, Cops etc should be ashamed of themselves... even the speeding, over-paid exec's should feel .01 secs of guilt...
