South Sydney star Greg Inglis has escaped conviction for speeding and drink driving, following an incident back in October.

Inglis was announced as the Kangaroos’ captain on the morning of October 1, before being pulled over for speeding by police later that same afternoon.

He then returned a positive breath test, and was charged with speeding and drink driving.

However, the NRL veteran has escaped conviction for the charges, after a Magistrate noted his contribution to the local community.
