    1. While a serious incident by an idiot, that is categorically a very funny news story.

      >NSW Police says a French national was “eating Macca’s” inside a hire car that crashed into Hyde Park’s Archibald Fountain early this morning.

      >The 21-year-old man has been charged with negligent driving, not reversing a vehicle safely and unlicensed driving.

      >Strangely, he was still eating Macca’s there.

      >The 21-year-old, who police say was an Uber driver, was uninjured and was taken to St Vincent’s Hospital for mandatory testing.

      Unlicensed non-local uber driver crashing a hire car while high? How did he even qualify for uber?

      Look forward to our nanny state over reaction to this where the state government passes reforms to make it illegal to have any food or beverage inside a car, punishable by prison time.

      The last time I saw a Frenchman reverse in a panic like that was 1939

      I suspect that ā€œmandatory testingā€ at St Vincent’s will uncover something.

      What spectacular stupidity. And HOW?!? The fountain is so far from the road.

      He’ll probably be cancelled as a Frenchman for being caught eating such non-French food and become stateless now šŸ˜‰

      Pretty scary someone can do this considering ASIO constantly warning about attacks in public places like this. Where are the bollards?
