I do feel a bit sorry for him - but only a bit. He looks in a right state and he needs to sort himself out. If he's not capable of that then things are only going to get worse for him. Being twice the drink drive limit in the middle of the day is not good.
I'm glad nobody got hurt when he crashed.
Hear hear to all of this Cromwell.
Yes he made a mistake. He's been given a sentence where he will pay for it, small sum yes for someone who earns so much, but the repercussions may last long after the driving ban is over. Nobody was killed, a couple of heaps of metal were written off. Let's hope he learns a huge lesson from this, and his spell in rehab puts to bed his problems, of which he clearly has many.
Good luck to him. He's going to need it.
