A LEARNER driver charged over the death of a student as he allegedly drove at 150km/h while three times over the limit is free on bail.

Student Puneet Puneet, 19, was driving his Holden Commodore in City Rd, Southbank, when it hit two Gold Coast university students as they left the Mantra Hotel to meet friends early yesterday

Call Centre work must have better pay than I thought!

Mr Puneet, an Indian who has been living in Australia for 18 months on a student visa, appeared before Melbourne Magistrates' Court charged with culpable driving.

I just hope he spends quite a few intimate nights with Bubba before being sent home.

The 'You're a racist' card to be thrown in 3...... 2.......

Unbelievable - not you Dale, the driver.

For all we know he was probably going to become a taxi driver (they're all Indians now aren't they?).

ive stayed at that hotel

it's absolutely disgusting that any L plate driver can have had that much alcohol in his system and have been doing up to 150km in a 60km zone (alleged).

It's ok Dale, it's clear that your hatred for L and P-Platers extends far beyond any racist feelings you may harbour.

Seriously though, terrible story and let's hope that he's not back on the road for a very long time.

[Dale61]

I don't have any hatred towards L or P-platers, just those who think that they are invincible and the road laws mean nothing to them.

I've even dobbed in a halfwit across the road who is still a P-plater, but drives his V8 HSV Commodore up our street like it was a drag strip. The dickhead did it when I had someone from the RTA here, and his car was immediately confiscated.

That certainly made the neighbours feel safer, especially the kids who often played outside.

If he is convicted surely his VISA will also be revoked?

[Fire Up]

ok he was drunk and on his L plates. now in victoria arent you suppose to have some one with a full license in the car with you? or has the rules changed since the new rules of green plates. anyway why was the drunk guy driving for?

hope he gets locked up or gets sent back to his country

[Dale61]

^He did have someone with him.

From the article:

A passenger in the car, a man, 23, from Glen Iris, suffered minor injuries.

His fully licensed passenger 'mate' is also facing charges.

[Dale61]

If he is convicted surely his VISA will also be revoked?

Mr Puneet has been ordered to report to police five times a week, surrender his passport, not attend points of international departure, and not leave the state.

Wouldn't his VISA be attached to his passport? If so, would he now be deemed as an illegal immigrant?

[Fire Up]

how come his mate wasn't driving then? ahh well who knows. hope they throw the book at him

[BBHS]

I wouldn't have thought so because he entered the country legally so should be all good.

[Dale61]

Maybe because the driver owned the car?

The first quote in the first post reads:

Student Puneet Puneet, 19, was driving his Holden Commodore

Would you let anyone drive your 'new' car?

if i was drunk yea.

the passenger should of had the balls to drive even if it was a new car or old.

or better still get a taxi home. they get discounts

[Dale61]

I wouldn't have thought so because he entered the country legally so should be all good.

But, he would no longer have the appropriate paperwork to prove that he is here legally.

Anyway, it's of no consequence as he is probably already half way home, and once he gets there, will vanish, never to be found by Australian authorities.
