Don't Ride 'Em, Cowboy
A man in Tennant Creek, in Australia’s Northern Territory, has lost his driving licence for riding his horse home from a pub while drunk in April, despite being told by police not to do so. A local magistrate has now disqualified the man from driving for six months.
FOOTNOTE: Rein forecast.
Drunk in charge of a horse? LOL

Well..... I suppose if you aren't in control of a horse it could do a lot of damage. Especially to the horse!
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't seem right to me that he would lose a driver's license for riding a horse, but maybe that judge had more facts than we see in the short version of the account.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it was illegal to ride his horse where he was.
Uuhh ... well, I can see where riding a horse home drunk would be bad, but how come he loses his car licence when he wasn't driving? What's the connection?
ReplyDeleteWhat am I missing here?
Oh, and didn't our great-grandfathers routinely let the old horse find his way home when they were too drunk to steer? LOL!
One wonders how Tam O'Shanter would have coped with this magistrate.
