If Lachie is guilty in this instance, he should say so and take it on the chin.

Re: Lachie Hunter charged with Drink Driving
I can't see how Bailey Smith did much wrong legally or morally. Sorry I haven't read all posts, I am squeemish when it comes to negative opinions. I assume Lachie did nothing legally wrong in leaving the scene as noone was injured and he accepted responsibility by leaving his details, possibly at the suggestion of Bailey, his angel of mercy. How incredibly synchronistic is it that one of the cars was randomly 'related' to Bailey and he was there? That the teenager then helped sort things although he is not a friend of Lachie's, contacting the club and driving Lachie to his friend's given Lachie had conflict at home is faultless.

Re: Lachie Hunter charged with Drink Driving
Shades of Tiger Woods and me with Hunter. The only time I was over the limit was when I was at home drinking, my ex came home in a protractedly foul mood and I had to get out, random breath test, cursedly just over, 0.6.
Lachie however must have been blotto or heavily distracted to side swipe several cars and as such was very dangerous.

Re: Lachie Hunter charged with Drink Driving
Sorry but I’ve had an accident , left details and then gone home, no police involved.. is that illegal now ?
Do you have to stay at the accident and how bad does the accident have to be ?
Who called the police and got them involved ?
I’m confused.
At what stage are the police to be involved ?

It was the partner of the owner of one of the vehicles he crashed into who called the cops. I think it was the owner of a food van that said he was visiting his girlfriend who lived in the units and it was the girlfriend of the van owner who rang the cops.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Lachie Hunter charged with Drink Driving
According to the CH7 news, Smith has received the fine of $1652 and Gowers has received a warning
It seems like the club is still investigating this and I think that is a sensible approach. We will hear from them when they have all the facts

Seems the logical outcome. Although Lachie better cough up the $1,652 to Bailey.

BIDS, There could be a combination of factors here not just being alcohol impaired and I wouldn't rule out being distracted as a contributing factor.
In this very unique time confronting all of us I just hope that given what he has experienced he has the support of his family, friends and the club because he will need it.
Cars can be repaired, fines can be paid and any sanctions imposed served but I suspect he is doing it very tough at the moment.
It's a hell of a lesson to learn but as I have said a few times at least no one has been injured.

BT, I get the sentiment behind that but I can put my hand on my heart here and say at the same age as Smith I wouldn't have driven Hunter away given the carnage. There is a lesson for Smith to learn and I hope he owns it.

Had someone in his house. You just can't do that ATM.
If I came around and knocked on your door and said "Ledgey baby, let's get on the stubbies" You would have to tell me to *!*!*!*! off and go straight home.

Yes that is right. You can still visit your partner if they live at another house but visiting relatives or friends you can’t do.

I'm really surprised anyone would ask that question, in my understanding there is no grey area on visitors to your house particularly work colleagues or friends.

My judgement is if you *!*!*!*! up and cause problems that impact on somebody else then you should pay for their fines. If it weren't Lachy Hunter that smashed into Bailey's GF's car then Bailey wouldn't have been involved at all. He should'nt have to pay for Hunter's *!*!*!*! up, he just did what he thought was the right thing and from where I sit Lachy Hunter owes Bailey Smith $1652 and a huge "sorry that I got you involved mate and thanks for extracting my arse-you are an absolute champ "

I don't have a problem if Hunter pays the fine but I still maintain there is a lesson for Smith to learn
