Masturbating driver fined for 'bizarre' pleasure cruise

A Darwin man has been fined $2,000 for filming himself masturbating while speeding along the Stuart Highway.

The man is already in jail until August after pleading guilty to carrying cannabis in the car boot and two plants on the back seat.

Brenton Alan Erhardt, 39, pleaded guilty in the Darwin Magistrates Court to dangerous driving.

He was pulled over by police on the Stuart Highway in July speeding at 147 kilometres per hour, south of Daly Waters.

He admitted to officers he filmed himself masturbating while driving from Adelaide to Darwin.

He also pleaded guilty to driving unlicensed, carrying two cannabis smoking pipes, administering the drug and carrying a loaded rifle.

Magistrate Sue Oliver says the driving was bizarre to say the least and conduct she expects of someone much younger.

Well...all I can say is that Aussies often refer to blokes they don't hold in the highest esteem as "wankers"...but I really don't think they mean to be taken literally!

However, to give the guy a break - seeing as he's a fellow Aussie and all - it strikes me that if he's driving along the Sturt Hwy at the Top End he won't have much to keep him busy from either the traffic or the scenery and possibly no radio reception either. What's the poor bastard supposed to do to keep himself awake...tell me that, eh?

And finally, how old is the bloody magistrate, then, if she thinks a mere lad of 39 is too old for sexual activity...jeez the cops are getting younger all the time but magistrates now???
