Crazy laws and even more crazy loopholes.
Maybe those responsible for employing' the worker should be the one/s prosecuted for not making sure he was competent and sober enough to be in charge of any machinery in the first place.
Well this is it, driving a motor vehicle on private land doesn't need a licence, tax or insurance, so those particular related laws do not apply. That doesn't mean that the "accused" can't be prosecuted under different laws. I am sure relatives will be looking in to alternative options.
