Three of them I can understand, but the one stating:-

Quote
also accused of driving a motor vehicle otherwise than in accordance with a licence

Does this mean he is accused of driving without the correct license/he only had a provisional one? Or is there licenses that only allow you to drive certain types of Car sizes similar to Motorcycle ones?

For the second time - he's not been convicted yet so don't write anything that may prejudice a trial or cause us problems.

Does this mean the Holte can't sing "On the Piss Ban-nan, On the Piss"?

Silly boy, let's just hope it teaches him a lesson. He's not the first young man to make a mistake like this and he won't be the last. Take the medicine and move on. Fortunately the only harm done is to his car, the bridge and his dignity.

He could have passed with an Automatic and was driving a manual car?

Would make sense as its a long way down to the clutch for his legs!

I think this could effect more than just his driving career - with jenas looking good for his cameo and getting fitter all the time i think Bananaman might struggle to get back in the first team frame

stupid stupid boy

I doubt he would have bought a manual range rover! rare as rocking horse shit.

He's not your regular young man though, is he? He can't say he took the chance because money was tight and he couldn't afford the taxi. He's paid a fortune compared to most and had no need to drive anywhere when he'd been drinking. What's he on? £30k a week at a conservative guess? He could have paid someone to drive him around all the boozers in the midlands if necessary. He's a very silly boy.

I bet he isn't on half of 30k a week yet.

Let's remember this lad is quality, there are already rumours of clubs like Liverpool being interested.

Let's not bite our nose to spite our faces, he has made a mistake and has hopefully learned a big lesson.

Even if he's "only" on 5K a week, i'm pretty sure a taxi fare wouldn't bankrupt him. If, and I do say if, he is guilty, I hope the law hits him as hard as they can.

If he's only on a meagre £10k a week, my point is equally valid.

Correct. Manual Range Rover are about but it will have to be a sub 2002 model. Range Rover Sports are available in manual shift but again it will have to be a 2009 reg or prior.

He's the Mr December inset in the calendar. How do I explain that to the kids?

'Don't drink and drive, especially at Christmas time'?
