no I can only shake my head. It was not a safe thing to do, he was not wearing his life jacket no

On a serious note, as he was caught driving whilst disqualified, using an unregistered vehicle, using an uninsured vehicle, and using an unregistered boat trailer, on a public road.

I have no sympathy for him, when he goes to court

As soon as I saw the photo I immediately recognised the intersection it is the Pacific Hwy and Evans Street in Belmont. That is usually an extremely busy part of town being the start of the main shopping strip as well as the school zones for both the high school and primary schools. It is also only a couple of hundred meters from the recently completed police headquarters and lucky for him the courthouse is right next door so he wont have far to travel. Unfortunately like everwhere else we have our fair share of ferals who have little regard for either the law or public safety. I really couldnt care less if he had a mishap and wrote himself or his boat off  but I would hate to see him take out another road user, damage someones property or injure some innocent pedestrian.

It is a good job he did not have this type of mobility scooter

He would have been done for speeding, as well

U Tube link below is three and a half minutes
