The man, who cannot be named due to a non-conviction, pleaded guilty in the Bendigo Magistrates' Court on November 22 to drink driving after a night at a friend's house ended with a broken clavicle and thousands of dollars in damage to the car and the house. The court heard he had been drinking with friends on the night of July 28, with the group finishing off two bottles of spirits and numerous bottles of beer. At around 4:20am on July 28 the man was driving home on Hope Street towards the intersection with Drought Street. Given the wet conditions and his state of intoxication he failed to stop at the intersection and drove through the fence of a Drought Street property, the court heard. The man's car then collided with a car parked at the home, with the stationary car pushed into the wall of the house. It was estimated the damage to the car and home was around $10,000 and $5000, respectively. The court heard that if the victim's car had not been parked there the man could have ploughed straight into the house, with the chance somebody could have being killed. After the occupants of the home were awoken, they went outside to investigate saw the 26-year-old in pain. He had a broken clavicle and when police arrived he had slurred speech and was taken to hospital. The court heard a blood sample was taken which later returned a positive reading of 0.206. During his interview with police the man said he was afraid he was going to hit a tree and ended up colliding with a curb before crashing through the property's fence. Magistrate Megan Aumair labelled his actions on the night "outrageous" and "spine-tingling" and said "the community expects" serious matters of drink driving to be punished. "There must be a message sent to you and others who think this is a good idea," Ms Aumair said. After being assessed for a community corrections order the man was sentenced to stay off the roads for 20 months. He was also sentenced to a 12-month community corrections order which included 150 hours of community work and the need to undergo alcohol abuse counselling. The man was not convicted as it would interfere with his visa and any future applications he needed to make. WA boy in Bendigo, happy to be in Central Victoria.
