so Keogh was in the back seat, but both Bennett and Lawrence have been charged with drink driving. Was it a dual control car?

No, just a twin engine.

2 cars hit each other and one ended up wrapped round a lamp post from my understanding of it. I assumed team mates racing each other after a night out.

(true story). A couple of weeks ago a bloke driving a yellow Renault (down here in Dorset) narrowly avoided disaster when an large oak tree blew over in the wind and collapsed onto the road in front of him. The car was slightly damaged but he was OK.

The local paper/website reported the incident, and various people left comments on the article , mainly saying how luck he was etc.

The best comment however simply read 'Tie a yellow Renault round the old oak tree"

Lucky escape for pair after three-tonne oak topples – just a day after major event on the road was cancelled

It's not like these lads can't afford a taxi/pay someone to drive. Captain should be taking away the keys, not climbing in the car with them.

It’s lucky Keogh was in the back seat as he has no driving licence. There can’t be many people if his age who have never learnt to drive

Two weeks is the max fine allowed. Luckily for him his contract is until end of the 2021 season.

It has also emerged that Keogh does not drive and it is understood he has never passed his test.

This seems the maddest bit

Unless they commit gross misconduct
Didn't Berahinio have his contract cancelled recently after a drink drive conviction?

He failed to provide a sample. He tried to piss into the open jar, but missed the target

Is strange that two were arrested? Would have thought if there were two cars involved the story might have mentioned it?

unless one already has similar convictions and the other made out they were driving to take the blame? That could make sense? Unless one of the arrests wasn’t for a driving offence?

I think it's just that page that omits it, BBC report says 'Police said a Range Rover Sport and a Mercedes GLC had collided'

What a bunch of tools.

Would be disappointing to not see a couple of prison sentences for the drivers. On top of the fines of course.

He got into a car with a guy who you have to believe he knew was over the limit and then didn't put on his seatbelt while the driver then raced his mate. He's no poor bugger.

But I don’t think it’s the drinking of alcohol that’s the problem here is it,
the problem is the drinking and driving ‘which is always avoidable.

Exactly. Young men have a tendency to do some pretty daft things and a bit of ale only adds fuel to the fire.

He is lucky he has a contract which will mean that he is paid many employers would not be happy.

Might not have a contract for much longer, depending on how angry they want to get about it.

Let's be honest - it's depending on how good they are, not how angry they want to get.

It would’ve a big call as I guess the drivers would have to go as well and they must be worth a few quid as they drive fancy cars

Well yes, but the value does depend on how angry they want to get as if the players have some value, then Derby'll have to get really, *really* angry to get rid.

Puts Hickman's indescretions into perspective, mind!
