One man's "evading police" is another man's "looking for an available safe space to pull over as quickly as possible"

yeah, kind of does make a difference if its a few 100m or a few km and which road etc, havent seen any of that info

Caleb Clarke might be unavailable in Super Rugby Fantasy but he's a hell of a character in GTA Auckland.

Yeah. Dumb choice, will get off lightly and learn his lesson

[george33]

@canefan definitely, he's a good young man, made wrong decision.

I'd imagine there was a time back in the day when simply being an AB was enough to get you off this kind of thing. Sign a couple of autographs and back on your bike.

[Bones]

Pretty ironic he doesn't want to be in fantasy due to it being a distraction to his rugby.

TBF, we went pretty nanny state in the early 2000s with the other Caleb and then again in the late 2010s/early 2020s with Bridge.

The judge, in his sentencing, noted the All Blacks' lack of a power winger who is also good in the air counted in his favor.

I heard Ted gave a character witness, “he’s a good Christian”

Until 2018, when NZ selected a Bridge and got over it.

Literally Christ on a bike.

@MN5 i will once again admit my previous ignorance, id always assumed a diversion could only be used for something like public intoxication or taking a leak in public, maybe nicking a road sign....nothing really dangerous

Diversion happens before charging as the police opt not to charge someone, most commonly a first offender and usually in return for some level of apology, admission of guilt and some minor community service.

This has reached court and a guilty plea, with Clarke seeking to be discharged without conviction - the court's decision on that will be part of sentencing in June. The financial impact of a conviction in terms of loss of potential earnings would be massive, so that's usually a major factor for the judge to consider.
