there is karma:

A trail of paint was used to track down a Chisholm man who was reportedly driving dangerously through Canberra's suburbs.
The 35 year old Chisholm man was allegedly seen drinking from a wine cask at Queanbeyan on Sunday, then driving off in a utility towards Canberra.
ACT Police received several reports of a car on the wrong side of the road in Symonston, Red Hill and Narrabundah, before it crashed through a fence into the Canberra Nature Park and came out in O'Malley.
Police say a paint tin opened in the back of the utility and dropped a line of paint behind the vehicle as it travelled through the Woden Valley.
The man was taken into custody in Torrens after returning a positive breath test and has been summonsed to appear in court.

Wonder if they will send him a bill to clean the spilled paint?

ACT magistrates will just give him a $100 fine or some such lame penalty

I just love this stuff.
On the one hand we got folks saying how draconian the laws are nowadays on drivers - and on the other hand we got someone driving all over the place and someone says they will get a 100 fine.
Slightly inconsistent view on matters perhaps ?

In NSW you generally receive harder penalties not adhering to road rules than theft or can I say murder.
