The picture above is ONE of the cars involved not Buddy's?

 

[stimpy870]

Check the link added shows all 3 cars involved.... i doubt buddy was rolling in the mini or the astra.....

 

[Mister B]

 

[baja]

He has hit 3 'parked' cars? His driving is nearly as bad as his goal kicking

How the hell do you hit 3 parked cars in a row?

 

[disgruntled goat]

How the hell do you hit 3 parked cars in a row?

Natural arc ...

 

[cinderella man]

How the hell do you hit 3 parked cars in a row?

Well if you are Schindlers List the sky is the limit. Although I baulked at 5 about 20 years ago.

 

[cinderella man]

Yer its just a empty car looks banged up need to wait for more details hope everyone is ok.

By the looks of this Buddy needs a good talking to. FFS He bought a Jeep !!!!!!!!!!!

 

[broady4]

9 more years of this circus. Enjoy.

 

[disgruntled goat]

Story's true (according to a police source) ... and he blew negative ...

 

[Superstar swan]

He should be banned from driving

 

[baja]

sexting, its plausible

 

[cherub]

Natural arc ...

a lesser talented Troy Buswell.

 

[M F JONES]

It'll be interesting to see media on this,
Big freakin deal, he had a car accident, I'm truly agog!
I can't believe a car accident has "lit" up Twatter! We live in Smallville!
Anyways, see ya'll Saturday night at the G, Buddy will kick 14, hit a few cars on the way out as we rebound our season....

 

[Danair]

 

[Danair]

Is he still suspended from driving?

[Heeney2Franklin]

You can't put a price on all this publicity.

 

[kickthething]

Somebody get that man a chauffeur....

 

[SM]

Signing Buddy was a car crash from the beginning...

 

[vonn]

lols buds

 

[Jack2Jack]

Not even drunk, yet still managed to hit 3 parked cars...fair effort that. Obviously Buddy is one of a very large number of shit drivers that are out there.

Don't worry though, his shitty driving ability will get skimmed over and we'll get a predictable 'Caro' or 'Barrett' article trying to connect a car crash to the 'culture' of the football club being destroyed.

 

[robbieando]

Is he still suspended from driving?

No, was only banned for 6 months from Aug 2012. But will be interesting to know if he got his licence back

 

[Tuco]

Typical. Can't get a score one week and then bags three in seven seconds the next

 

[The King!]

Maybe a drive with buddy could be a fan prize
