A lot of people here in Melbourne have commented online how ridiculous the actions of Hamilton were, and how dangerous it was. Also, how poor the penalty he got from the court hearing....
Well, as a driver on Melbourne roads, I would gladly be a passenger in a car with Hamilton compared to many of the poor, dangerous, slow and inept drivers that use our roads every day!
As for the penalty, our laws are way too lenient on many things. Road incidents can produce heavy to totally trivial penalties. Our legal system is mystifying at best, so trying to sort out what penalty what crime deserves, that is anyones guess!!!
