Nickelback's Chad Kroeger is the latest start to get a drunk driving charge.
Kroeger was fined $600 and lost his license for 12 months for an offence from 2006.In June 2006, the Nickelback singer was spotted speeding in his Lamborghini. He registered a blood alcohol reading of .14. The legal limit in Canada is .08.
Despite being as full as a boot, Kroeger's lawyer will appeal the sentence. After the hearing, he told the media "It was more a matter of a technical convention for having a blood alcohol reading over .08 as opposed to how he was driving and behaving on the night in question or, colloquially, whether he was drunk or not," (whatever that means).
Kroeger was more repentant than his lawyer. Outside the courthouse he told fans "Don't drink and drive, absolutely".
