Just to prove this isn't a wind up he is due in court tomorrow. It has been late for some reason.

He has been charged with only two offences.
1.Drink Driving
2. Leaving the scene of an accident

I did Jury Duty and some bloke knocked over 3 lads on a quiet country road whilst all of them were drunk (inc. the driver). He never reported the accident and had no insurance.

All he got was a 3 yr driving ban and a big fine, which he could pay about £1.50 per week for the next 5 years

I'd put money on the same. Driving ban + fine.

I come from the heart of rallying country !
Where, precisely, is "rallying country" exactly? It sounds like you're talking about the wild west or something. I bet all the real rally drivers (assuming there are any) around you wish wannabes like you and your "mate" would p*ss off elsewhere, as I imagine you're giving the rest of them a bad rep by associating reckless, lawless behaviour like this with them.

By the way. It is not me !
Really? Are you related at all? The way you seem willing to excuse his behaviour seems to indicate you're from the same end of the gene pool, if nothing else.

Grease monkey. Calm down dear !

Rallying style i refer to as when drivers have an accident and continue driving !

No he wasn't on an event.

Rallying country if you know anything about the sport is in Mid Wales / Welsh borders.


And about the last bit you put. Just chill will you !
If you knew what really went on in the country than just being a city boy who thinks they know what the country side is about then you would know !!!!!

Agree, word for word, with greasemonkeys first post. Wheeler dealer, just like to add, tell your " friend" to " **** off and die " when you next see him, hopefully in the cells. He's not been " a bit silly ", he's a ****, and, frankly, you don't seem much better.

I'm from a country area I know exactly what the country side is about and I know people who drink and drive regularly and they are all complete w@nkers! Living in the country is no excuse for drink driving. We would often walk 5 miles to the pub or someone would just not drink. Its really not that hard whether you live in the country or a city.

No matter where you live, if you drink and drive your a complete To$$er!

12 Month Ban and £400 fine???????

LOL What a f$ck1ng joke! Hope fully one of your other drink driver mates might run him over sometime

I wonder how much money he has to give to the man/woman's car he bust into??? Won't be paying for their excess and insurance hike will he?

As someone originally from "rally country" and as someone who has
1) ended up in hospital because of a drunk driver
2) had a parked car trashed by a drunk driver who didn't stop

I think your friend is a dangerous idiot and it's a shame they weren't given a short custodial sentence to think about the consequences of their actions.
