It is no sense trying to flog a dead horse……it is not going to get up, giddy up n go.
People just continue to say, ” they cannot tell me what to do. I pay this n I pay that. They don’t give me nothing towards my licence n insurance.”
Well BPS, make an example of this 70 year old man as he is one of them, that we truly expect to set the ewxample. He is only lucky he can be charged and not eulogized. Show that BPS, RSC n the Government of this day is serious and if u don’t do your duty as been stated, then shut down n let everybody DUI. Send him Westgate n show that Bermuda is not playing n age doesn’t matter. He had to known better. Send him. Set the law in place n no disrespect to the inebriated. This must stop NOW n he is probably a grandfather setting the poor example n we talk about our young adults. Oh Please. Tempted n tried and now MUST face to judge. No leniency because of age either n flip the reckonables. Book him DANO!!!!!!
