I\u2019ve got nothing to regret or be sorry about. I\u2019m a good driver.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This pondlife has a shotgun licence? Let&#8217;s hope the Police review that decision, because he doesn&#8217;t deserve to be allowed out unsupervised, let alone to own a gun. If he behaves illegally in a 4&#215;4 (yes, Danny Boy, what you did was illegal), what is he likely to get up to with a shotgun?<\/p>\n<p>One of the chimpanzees Pearce was towing (Shaun Crumpton)\u00a0said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The first time I got in I thought I was going to die. It swerved round the corner and almost hit a car but everyone was having a laugh.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yes, and just think if a child had walked out from behind the car you\u00a0&#8220;almost&#8221; hit to see what was going on.<\/p>\n<p>I would imagine that reading and other such activities don&#8217;t find themselves on Pearce&#8217;s list of skills, but I wonder if he is aware of <a title=\"Daily Mail - Father Kills Son Towing Behind 4x4\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-1191050\/Father-faces-jail-towing-son-sledge-4x4-lifetime-experience.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> the case from last year where a father killed his son<\/a> doing something similar?
