- Was involved in an Uber accident that injured a young girl
- Admits to having cocaine in his system that he had used the day before
- Received a lenient sentence despite several past violations
Ezra Mam’s shocking driving history has been revealed following the Brisbane Broncos star’s conviction for being involved in a car crash with cocaine in his system.
The Broncos playmaker has been sidelined by the club and is facing an NRL investigation and sanctions following the car crash in October.
The 21-year-old player was involved in a head-on collision with an Uber carrying a mother and her four-year-old daughter, who suffered minor injuries.
Court documents revealed that Mam had 0.01 mg/l of cocaine in his system, which he admitted to using socially the day before the crash.
Now News Corp has revealed the shopping list of driving offenses Mam committed prior to the crash that threatens to ruin his NRL career.
At the time of the incident, Mom’s driver’s license was suspended for previous traffic violations, marking his third suspension since 2021.

The NRL continues to investigate the crash that left a young girl injured
His driving history includes violations such as speeding, failing to stop at a red light and using a cell phone while driving.
Mom’s most recent suspension stemmed from an offense in May 2024, in which he was fined $1,161 and lost four demerit points for using his phone. He would get his driver’s license back in November 2024.
In court, Mam pleaded guilty to driving with a relevant drug in his blood and driving without a license. He was fined $850, banned from driving for six months and avoided a criminal conviction.
Magistrate Mark Nolan branded Mam’s actions “stupid” and highlighted the risks he posed to himself and others.
“There is no place for illegal drugs in our community, and certainly no place for someone who uses illegal drugs to get behind the wheel of a car,” he said.
In his written apology to the court, Mam expressed his deep regret and called the incident a “turning point” in his life.
“I now understand how dangerous and irresponsible my actions were – not just for myself, but for everyone who was on the road that day,” Mom wrote.
Mom also recognized the need to rebuild trust.

“Through this process, I have come to realize how much I need to grow, and how much effort it takes to regain the trust of those I have let down,” he said.
After the crash, Mom enrolled in a four-week rehabilitation program at The Banyans, described as a luxury rehabilitation center.
Healthcare professionals noted his full involvement in the program.
Mom has since started counseling and volunteering with organizations such as the RSPCA, aiming to demonstrate his commitment to personal growth and responsibility.
The Broncos have confirmed they are cooperating with the NRL Integrity Unit’s investigation into the matter.
Broncos CEO Dave Donaghy expressed his disappointment at Mam’s actions but reaffirmed the club’s commitment to supporting him during his recovery.
Mam’s manager, Nash Dawson, stated that the player has shown concern for the welfare of the victims and takes responsibility for his actions.
As a result of the incident, two corporate sponsors withdrew their support of Mam. He also faces disciplinary action from the Broncos, including a suspension from training until 2025.
Mom’s $4 million contract with the Broncos is still under review.
The NRL is considering possible penalties, including a suspension and fine, as part of its investigation.
