'Simply daft': Man who towed boat down highway with mobility scooter escapes jail time

A man who towed his boat along the Pacific Highway with a mobility scooter has escaped jail time, receiving a $1100 fine and a six-month licence disqualification.

On Wednesday, his lawyer Osman Samin told Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court that his client's licence was disqualified at the time of the incident, and he was therefore unable to transport the 17-foot boat by car.

When will they legislate against stupidity and simply make being stupid a crime. The guy is disqualified driver on the road with a unlicensed/uninsured vehicle, idiot. Just imagine if a car hit the boat, he’d be speared off into traffic. Then you fit him as he flys into on coming

Well....he didn't do anything wrong!

I want to know whose mobility scooter he ' borrowed' n hopefully didnt damage ?

This is news?

Damn. I thought it was genius! He had a problem. He found a solution that was not illegal! Well done... remembering, of course, the law is an ass! So hee haw!

Creativity at its best :-)

How absurd. Heavily fined one hopes.

Can do attitude

Wow SMH you sound horrified! But if he killed bashed or raped we would be concerned that he is locked up because of religious or cultural beliefs that would exonerate him from any punishment... but let’s talk about how good an idea pill testing is... 🤪

Not many people go to gaol for traffic offences.
