Why is it so much drink driving on the Isle of Wight?
Old farts again Kev fu
“Out of character”, Michael McGoldrick must know him really well.
Kids these days are just evil
Oil wasn’t a kid it was a grown man with a family . There’s no excuse whoever it is . Its certainly not just the younger generation. More often than not its middle aged people who definitely know better.
What a load of rubbish,glad the jury,judge saw through his lies,we all knew he was going to drive to Newport from shanklin regardless
Why are these B’stards not banged up
Drink driving kills
The Law on the island is a joke!, that is why people keep
committing crimes.
Goodness knows why most people who comment on this platform think that crime on the I.O.W.is worse than it is elsewhere. IT IS NOT ! Try living on the North Island, then you would see how COMPARITIVLEY crime free the I.O.W is !
Total scum and loser like all scum who live in scum hole Newport.
Just because people live in newport it doesn’t make them scum lol.
This sort of offence is so damn annoying because all those making legitimate insurance claims because of this individuals behaivour lose their excess and also face premium hikes next renewal. The courts never seem to take that into account.
The court/council/government doesn’t take liability for you leaving your car on a public highway. Take some responsibility for your own actions.
Stupid bloody comment
Bloody ridiculous comment, people do take responsibility for their own actions, it’s the people like this that don’t
Have you tried not being poor?
What a joke this bloke is. Don’t worry though because his wife has just qualified as a driving instructor so she can teach him how to drive when his van is lifted! Hard working ! He spent most of his life on benefits sucking us all dry. Pathetic. Should have been banged up!
Wanker should be in jail the twat ..he’ll get a silly little fine.and a warning.
Probably waiting for his driving instructor Mrs to pick him up!! Scumbags!
Sometimes you have to drink and drive because it’s too dangerous to walk. When I have had eight pints and a few chasers I could easily trip over and break my arm or leg or even tear my jacket when walking home.
Nob!!! Such a stupid comment can’t even rile the people on this platform up!
He’s a grown adult, he was wrong end of story
I should think so too.
£2,000.00+ a year Council tax it’s what one expects.
