| Didn't Paul Aiton get done for drink driving when with us found upside down at the top of westgate. He still played on with us and signed for Leeds the following season.

| Few questions from that Twitter feed then.
1 car or 2? (1 or 2 drivers?)
Was Tim smith really walking barefoot through broken glass? Because he won't be running for a while...
And finally - what were they doing in Brough??

| Players often have a night out away from their home club city, it reduces the spotlight on them. Danny Washbrook and Miller still live in the Hull area so maybe they were meeting up with them?
If the rumours are true and both were driving then I would have no problem at all if the players were immediately dismissed. Tarnishing the name of the club plus complete disregard for the law, their own safety and the safety of others. I loathe anyone who thinks that drink driving is acceptable.

| Nobody is condoning what allegedly has happened but other clubs have had players done for drink driving we had Aiton the other year all not sacked. We need to do what's best for the club and if they're in a fit mind to do a job for us in the last 3 games and keep us up then we'd be daft to sack them.

| I agree. You don't lose your job for drink driving. You could of course be prosecuted in court.
They may however be dropped if attitude isn't right.

I'd imagine that they were visiting one of the Wakey, Hull based players, as I reckon a few with live there to make travel easier.

| This is just depressing.
2-3 weeks to go to the end of a thoroughly miserable season and 2 of our "star" players do this.
Brilliant prep for next week boys, well done !

| As daft as it sounds this and Saturdays lack lustre performance could and should refocus the squad. If true and Locke & Smith had anything about them they'd be apologising to the club and players and fans and out to prove a point, with them been our most talented players that can only be good for us

| If this turns out to be true, I find it very unsurprising. Locke has bags of talent but is self-destructive. NZ Warriors saw it and shifted him on when he was tipped to be the next big thing. Salford took a punt and he let us down, and it's less than surprising that he's done the same to you. I really feel for Wakey as you've always been my Yorkshire side due to us always being the underdogs, but I think you'll survive.
It's been a thoroughly miserable season for both our Clubs and I hope we can both start a fresh in SL next season.

| I would imagine it would be Jacob Miller they came to see, as Washbrook lives near me on Kingswood which is way on the other side of Hull.

| I've just received a text from a lady who says she was a passenger in the car . She says that KL was sat next to her on the back seat & was sober.

To add to that, it would be be routine for the police to breathalyse anyone who they suspected might be the driver if there is a collision and people are there at the scene for some time after. For instance, if a period of time passes before anyone gets to the car, as of course people have the chance to swap positions. Being breathalysed and being taken away is no indication that the person was driving or is going to be charged. They will commonly take people away to conduct other tests. Fundamentally, the police still have to prove who the driver was (although there is a legal authority - Smith-v-Mellors - that states that if it can be proven that two or more people were in a car but it cannot be shown who was the driver, except that one of them definitely was, you can charge both or all with drink driving, provided both are over the limit, justified on the basis that the passenger was encouraging the driver).
The police routinely breathalyse people involved in an accident.
One piece of legal advice: if you are ever asked to blow into a breathalyser, do it! I've been involved in so many cases where people have been prosecuted for not blowing where if they had blown and failed, it could not have been shown they were the driver. End up with ten points, which for many meant a ban. You can also get longer bans for not blowing.
