An incredible driving record
Meet Australian Luke Dodd -- holder of one of the more auspicious driving records. NOT
From the
AU Herald-Sun:
Is he our worst P-plate driver?
P-PLATER Luke Dodd has one of the worst driving records in Victoria's history.
But that did not stop the 24-year-old, who has 61 convictions for driving while disqualified and 71 for stealing cars, getting behind the wheel after drinking and smashing head-on into a car driven by a mother with four children.
A court heard Dodd had a blood-alcohol reading of .066 when he lost control of his Ford ute and crashed into an oncoming Mazda MPV, which was a write-off.
The mother and her children, who were on their way to Salvation Army band practice, escaped unhurt.
Despite his shocking history -- committed before he had a licence -- Dodd was fined just $500 yesterday and his licence was cancelled for a minimum of six months.
A P plate is a license plate with a large red letter P which is issued to new drivers over 18 years (under 18 you get an L plate for Learner). It is also issued to people who have been convicted of certain traffic violations. More at
The Daily Telegraph.
I am amazed that this moke is still on the road, let alone not doing some hard prison time. Talk about psychopath.
