Wayne Rooney arrested on suspicion of drink driving

[GrumpyGregry]

Two years and community service. Is that right?

 

[subaqua]

100 hours community service .

banned for 2 years.


suppose thats better than a fine, but a suspended custodial would have been better ....

 

[accountantpete]

The £170 fine will be a real hardship

 

[subaqua]

Gosh he's going to have to hire a chauffer on £30K pa for 2 years, how will he afford it?

The 100 hours is good though.

there isn't sufficent provision in the guidlines for rich tw@ts that think the law doesn't apply to them sadly .

 

[Nibor]

If he gets 6 points he will go above Everton

Training with Everton's reserve side?

 

[Levo-Lon]

About what I'd predicated.

Nothing has changed since my ban in 95.
I got 500 fine and 20mth for just over twice the limit.

I also ran a business and needed to drive But that's the bit that really hurt.
I lost something I needed.

Rooney will be laughing his head off..well untill the wife gets back from Holliday that is.

My distaste for wendyball, and thus wendyballers, is well documented in these parts, nonetheless given rich, the middling-sort and poor alike drink-drive should we really be tailoring the fines based on income, and in the case of the super-rich like this fool how much is really enough?

Unfortunately I'm not sure how big you could make the fine and it not be meaningless to the mega rich. taking peoples time away from them seems to be a bit more of a leveller.

Do what they do elsewhere and make it a percentage of their income... like the €650,000 fine handed out to one speeding driver in Switzerland.

Band F fines 700% of relevant weekly income . That's before deductions


If only they could be handed down for this event .

 

[AndyRM]

So what does Rooney earn per week? Should we start a petition for the CPS to review/challenge what is clearly a grossly under-fining?

£150k.

 

[Markymark]

Almost as much as @Markymark then....

That's just my entertainments bill.

Rooney has not been fined.

He has been ordered to pay costs and victim surcharge, which in this case is standard flat fee of £85 each.

The district judge commented community work is a more appropriate punishment for someone in Rooney's position.

It is more appropriate. I just wish it was a number of hours that would really hurt and serve as a deterrent. The cynic in me thinks his community service will be holding football sessions for kids (which is laudable) whereas I'd rather he was scraping chewing gum off the pavements. As I thankfully have never been exposed to the community work system, I don't know how it is determined and allocated

He got a 2 year ban and 100 hours community service. Fair sentence I think as a fine would just be a joke.
