Accused disqualified driver admits he's an idiot

Accused disqualified driver admits he's an idiot : "The Courier-Mail yesterday revealed astounded police could not believe Allingham had allegedly committed the offence while his Holden Commodore was impounded at the time under the repeat vehicle offenders law."

Indeed. you have to wonder what goes on in some people's heads. I think kids are brought up without boundaries and so it takes them longer to work out what is reasonable behaviour. People used to be told or lectured. Now it seems they have to find out for themselves because they literally have no brakes on their personal behaviour...so yes, they crash time and time again in life. I do have hope, though. I had a lovely conversation with a 22 year old lad today who had been on the wrong side of the law for hooning, speeding, driving without a licence. I really liked him. He had a great personality and I was really surprised he had been so daft. So then we talked some more and the respect he had for the police and the courts was heart warming. We worked out that it really wasn't worth it and that he had finally woken up to himself and was NOW being a mentor to his mates!!! That was the best bit. All his "idiocy" that I'd heard about ( and tried not to do the cat's bottom face over) meant he realised the police had worked hard to get him some sense in his head because he'd driven his parents to desperation. He finally had got it and was getting the message out there. That's what we need...the young who get it need to fast track it to their mates.
