And are you really comparing J walking to driving .096 over the limit (0 being the limit for P platers)?
Ah I see where you're heading.Obviously still "Gobsmacked".He ran into a goddam motor cyclist!! Could have killed him.First ,Third or tenth, he was drunk and caused an accident yet you are bagging our own.last time I looked J walking WAS an offence and wearing black leathers wasn't.Perhaps it's different in Victoria.And I'm sure there would have been a pedestrian crossing not too far away. But HEY!! Let's just throw JDG under the bus. More fun .
fact: he stepped in front of a moving motorbike and was hurt himself. he has been charged with drunk in public and crossing at a red light. see article.
fact: Degoey was driving a car while on P plates, was pulled over and blew .095 above his legal limit of 0.000
My comment re the bikies attire were because its really easy to miss them in the dark if they are in all black. hell they are hard to see in daylight. Still no excuse, especially since he was charged for crossing against the light, which sounds as if he was at least at a crossing point.
is there anything at all in DeGoeys favour? um, thats a big NO.
Now if you want to go on about what could have happened with that motorbike spinning out of control killing the driver and others around, then you also need to go on about what could have happened if Jordan had lost control, fallen asleep.
Im not bagging our own, im stating facts. Im very pissed off at him. But as with others im more than happy for him to come back and prove he deserves his very lucrative, set himself up for life, rare opportunity.
No one is throwing him under a bus, he did that all by himself.
