Smith was careless backing out of his driveway which resulted in him being hit by a passing car, people actually want him jailed, Mam was allegedly under the influence of drugs, unlicensed and literally drove on to the wrong side of the road causing a head on crash, that should be the death penalty
No doubt this one is much worse in nature. The injury Smith's victim suffered is no joke though. I suspect there'll be significant civil case involved.

That’s fine, a civil case should be between him, his insurer and the injured party and not have any impact on any criminal proceedings nor influence any potential punishment. Sometimes we need to look more at the actions and intentions rather than any freak injury, I’d wager almost every young driver has had a close call reversing out of a driveway, luckily most of those result in nothing more than a near miss, Smith unfortunately just caught the wrong end of variance.
Mam on the other hand made a conscious decision to get behind the wheel unlicensed and under the influence and was either so off his face or just plain careless he ended up on the wrong side of the road and hit another car head on, was sheer good fortune no one was seriously hurt

Are NRL players banned from using Uber or Taxis?

Like what the f**k is going on with all these multi- millionaires getting done for various degrees of driving offences?

More than once I've left the car at the train station or in the car park, because I've had a few to many white wine spritzers.

I'm not sure many would consider unlicensed driving and driving under the influence to be behaving.

I didn't say that.

The NRL isn't going to act before these are resolved in court.

There are no games until March, There is no need for the NRL to act for months yet.

So that shows that the rest of the players are behaving

his crime is no where near Mitchell Pearce so I expect NRL handing out less than 8 games ban.
Pearce’s punishment was just because of State of Origin. All the fans wanted was Pearce not to get picked so they called for the NRL to throw the book at him.
