To think if it had not been for his wayward ways and implosions he would have been a mainstay of the GB/England side for a good number of years alas a flawed talent he is

Interesting and apposite piece on the news this morning - that there are currently 10,000 motorists on UK roads, driving legally, with 12 or more points on their licence; including one chap from West Yorkshire, who has racked up 62 points, but remains legally able to drive, due to magistrates accepting the argument that losing his licence would cause 'extreme hardship.'

I guess it would cause me extreme hardship if someone with such an appalling driving record smashed into me and killed me - but hey ho.

It's good to know that when a mother is burying her toddler who was killed by a drunk driver she can console herself that it was at least done by a lesser grade of scum

You get what I mean, in terms of danger to the public - a person on bail for drink driving is far less likely to cause harm to society than a murderer or rapist etc. With Prison/Police resources stretched to the limit, we need to prioritise incarcerating them in my opinion.

Having said that anyone who drink/drug drives and hurts someone deserves everything they get.

Not really but each to their own.

I have come across quite a few over the past 28 years....one of my colleagues caught a drink driver in the Wakefield district only a couple of weeks ago - a middle aged working guy - and he actually said that he couldn't believe he was being arrested and then prosecuted for "just having a few beers" (I believe he was 3 times over the limit) and that he was disgusted with the police "who should be out catching the REAL criminals "
