How do you ban somebody from all pubs etc or from consuming alcohol full stop. Prohibition is impossible to enforce properly. Easiest way to make people want something more is to ban it.
The knee jerk reactions to this are astounding. He was speeding he crashed nobody was seriously hurt I don't see how this warrants a jail sentence or the lengthy bans people are dreaming up. Drunk drivers are given far less for being way over the limit but nobody kicks up a fuss.
Who's to say this isn't the wake up call the guy needs. If hes like anyone around here then hes just lost his pride and joy because of a silly mistake, hes not likely to want to repeat that any time soon. If he does then fair enough hes a repeat offender. Punish him harshly then.
If he has a record of driving offences then throw the book at him but this article tells you 0 about his driving history. If he has no prior violations why would you punish him so harshly. Its an accident, accidents happen.
One thing that stood out for me is the baldy tyres. QLD transport need to implement a system where road worthys are required every time you renew your rego. The amount of cars that you see on the road that have no business being there is ridiculous. They are accidents waiting to happen. If you can't afford to maintain the car then you can't afford to drive it. Simple.
