Wrong-way terror driver keen to be back behind wheel

If they let boy racers keep their licences, this guy should be allowed to drive anywhere, anyhow. Seriously.

Give him a chance, everybody makes mistakes

I hope you never ever have or god forbid cause and accident. If you do please heed your own advice and get off the road forever. As for never ever making an error on the road in any way shape or form, oh to be so perfect. However I do believe that you are just like a closet alcoholic, in denial! Even better you probably dont have a licence and are one of these people that spends their spare time ringing talkback complaining about the price of lentil soup at the local supermarket.

Why is Harry smiling in the photo? He should be hanging his head in shame. Someone who drives when they can't see where they're going should be kept off the roads at all costs, regardless of their age. How dare he even contemplate asking for his licence back?

Why the discharge? Discharge without conviction based on a lack of intent maybe? Or was it with the surrender of licence (given that he now has to resit).

Sorry mate, sounds like its time to retire from driving. That is a dangerous stretch of road with everyone going the right way as it is! I should know, I attended many crashes there in my days as a local cop.

By the looks of that picture - I wish him well with his attempt to drive his car with his house key(s). It might first need to be pointed out to him the difference between a car and a house :( - because personally I drive my car, not my house.

BEST OF LUCK HARRY!

I don't see why he should be singled out - there are tens of thousands of morons driving (if you can call it that) on our roads every day who are just as bad, if not worse. I hope I'm still driving when I'm 98.

Another perfect example of New Zealands REDICULOUSLY weak justice system. When will our bloody country learn!!?? We are such a bunch of poofters when it comes to handing out sentences. How do you get off a driving charge like this? It's beyond me. The fact that noone else drove on the wrong side of the road in those conditions proves his eyesight must be terrible, it was nothing to do with the rain, and in NO way should he have a license, OR be allowed to apply for one. As someone has already said, if this was a 20odd year old he wouldve been locked in the cells for the night and been convicted of reckless driving causing injury. WAKE UP NZ LEGAL SYSTEM!!

Keep this guy off the road! How much more proof does anone need that he is no longer fit to drive?

I agree with the poster who said that Mr Spencer is a very selfish man. He could not care less about the risk that he poses to other road-users.

Be a man, Mr Spencer, and face up to time catching up with you. Hang up your keys with dignity, before you kill someone else or yourself.

If we leave like this alone to enjoy life they will then kill off people who are one quarter their age. Yeah everyone has a right to independence, but I really doubt you'd be singing his praises if he hit you and you ended up in a wheelchair for the rest of your life.
