He went from a BMW to Pat and Charlie. Let them 10 toes be his ride. Didnt have the right to be on the highway any how..Driving is a privilege. When you lose it, you shouldnt be on the road driving. No insurance. Im glad his driving didnt cause an accident and hurt anyone. Keep him un jail.
As my old friend Roy V used to say : The man just needed a little help to get back on his feet. Poof, the genie is done.
