No, apparently that's what happened to Izzy. :P 8)

Like his kicking the other driver didnt allow for Buddy's natural driving arc.

I agree with you. All I'm reading on Facebook from people and hearing is why he wasn't suspended.

I don't get it. What did he do that was wrong?
Nothing in any of the media reports said that he did anything wrong. When I saw the headlines I was expecting speeding, drink driving. But sounds like just a run of the mill accident. Maybe Buddy isn't very good driver - there are plenty of them out there.

Wasnt his licence suspended at the time ? If it was, and he still drove, this is far worse than what Swannie did. And, will the Dawks suspend Buddy boy, hmmmm.......... somehow i doubt it. !

no he is still allowed to drive for 28 days for some stupid reason,

basically slow news day, no one to pick on,
and they are trying to detract from Aussie Silver!

He may not even be that. Even good drivers have accidents. Not me, I'm usually driving so fast I'm long gone before any potential incident. Like that Vic Roads ad, "look what happens when doing only 5 km/h over the limit" - Well dah, if he had've been doing 30 over the limit he would've long past before the idiot on the bike cut in. Impact avoided and no extra wear on the brakes! :idea:

Was Buddy drug tested after the accident?

Isn't he on 3 strikes?
