Will he have to retake his test. Strikes me as the kind of bloke who would struggle to pass it a second time. |  | |  |

Normally it only looks back at 3 years previous on sentencing guidelines, so he really annoyed the judge to get 40 months.
I've said before, there should be a zero limit as is the case in a lot of EU countries and some US states. It sends the message 1 drink is too many.
I'm particularly sensitive on this I guess as a drink driver nearly killed my dad when I was much younger, so anything that keeps this scum off the road should be applauded.
10 year sentence for 1 ban and lifetime for 2 or more should be where we go. |
My understanding is that if you are convicted a second time within 10 years it is a minimum of a three year ban.
"The minimum disqualification period will be increased to 3 years if within 10 years preceding the commission of the drink driving offence they have been convicted of any of the following offences:
causing death by careless driving when under the influence of drink or drugs
driving or attempting to drive whilst unfit
driving or attempting to drive with excess alcohol
failing to provided a specimen for analysis while driving or attempting to drive" |  | | |

Thanks, I must have looked at some out of date guidelines!
Still not enough... |  | | |

I cannot see how he is going to continue as a player unless he lives closer to PR/Playford Rd than Cockfield,or finds someone to dive him in and pick him up afterwards | | | |

He’ll just get a cab won’t he. | | | |

I hear that someone tipped off the police that he had been drinking and the car he overtook was actively searching for his vehicle. |
This sort of vigilantism will probably upset Chico a lot. |  |

You're probably only talking £40 each way and if he gets a local private hire who may do a deal it could work out less than that.
With his income it would be worth it while he looks for somewhere closer maybe.
Saying that, if he's got a nice place in Cockfield he doesn't want to part with then it would be cheaper to rent a modest pad in Ipswich for a while rather than take a daily cab. |  |

Yes. I do. And its not remotely sanctimonious to be deeply pis sed off at someone behaving that way. Dont minimise it.
There is, of course, something to note here in terms of the passage of time. | | | |

Norwood appealed his second drink drive offence, resulting in a 40 month ban, in October 2021. Why have we NEVER heard what happened to his apparently spurious appeal? |  |

I imagine it went nowhere or was withdrawn. | | | |

The last offence was 14 years ago.
Why bring it up unless you want to cause trouble?
Or have I answered my own question |  | | |

What an odd thing to drag up, clearly with an agenda.
Anyone who does anything dangerous when operating a car is a complete pr*ck and should not be allowed the privilege of doing so.
What exactly is your point here? |  |

As mentioned above re. the passing of time...
https://www.itfc.co.uk/news/2025/may/19/peter-over-named-club-ambassador/
But the point is, when can someone absolve themselves from previous failures...if it possible to do so...
(Or at least that's my take on the resurrected post) |  | | |

Yes, and given that Over's statements to court were as dishonest as Norwood's were then I don't think he is an appropriate person to be a club ambassador. |  |

To be honest, I know nothing about the guy.
But if (IF) he has lived life as a model citizen for the past 15 years or so, then I think a blind eye can be turned here and probably has been | | | |

Mate, obviously not good but why are you going back to this now as you must have sone agenda with him. Personally he is a really decent chap. | | | |

Blimey, you've dragged up a thread from 4 years ago to have a pop at people with a story from 15 years ago. That's some special kind of sad right there. |  |
