The judge presiding over the case did not mince words when describing the actions of a young driver who was caught recklessly driving near the site of a fatal accident that claimed the life of his close friend. He called it what it was - immature and stupid. The accused, Dylan Sharpe, who is only 22 years old, pleaded guilty to charges of reckless driving for performing a dangerous burnout in Perth's southern area. What makes this even more concerning is that Sharpe had his 11-month-old baby in the car with him at the time.
In court, Sharpe expressed remorse for his actions and promised to do better for the sake of his family. This is a stark contrast to his previous statement where he expressed no regrets for the stunt he pulled as a tribute to his friend, Jady Turner, who had tragically passed away in a high-speed crash the day before. As the court proceedings continued, Sharpe's lawyer spoke on his behalf, stating that he was heartbroken at the thought of the danger he had put his child in and acknowledged that it was a poor decision on his part.
Sharpe pleaded guilty to charges of reckless driving and driving without a valid license, stemming from the incident on Thomas Road in Oakford. The judge, Steven Malley, did not hold back in his scolding of Sharpe, telling him to "do better" and reminding him that he only has one life to live. He also pointed out that Sharpe's behavior was more suited for a 13-year-old, emphasizing that he was not mature enough to hold a driver's license. As a result, Sharpe was disqualified from driving for a year and was handed a hefty fine of over $2000.
Instances like this are a stark reminder of how important it is to make responsible decisions, especially when behind the wheel of a vehicle. Sharpe's actions not only put his own life at risk but also that of his innocent child. It's a lesson that he will hopefully take to heart and use to make better choices in the future.
