in reality , there is probably less drunk drivers about at this time of year than in the summer
why can't the braincells go and be useful, rather than sat on there fat a**es in cars hiding around pub carparks
if you watch those tv cop chases, listern to what the criminals get as punishment
if you are hard working tax payer who f**ks up once, you get banned and a huge fine
( now your on the dole and claiming every benefit )
but if you are a scrout pinching cars, crashing them, risking everyone life everytime you get behind the wheel,
, you get community servce and a holiday or/and a pat on the back
somethings *** about face here

There are far more drink drivers around Christmas.
I didn't read the rest of your post as it is so badly written/spaced out.

I'm sure I saw an article in one of the better papers this year, come Spring, saying that the majority of drink driving offences take place when light nights come, with folk sitting outside pubs, bars, and each others' homes.......

There's a 5 fold increase in arrests where I work in December and we don't target/stop any more cars than any other time. We only stop cars for DD that are being driven badly, have no lights on - obvious stuff.
I had 7 pissed drivers in 4 nights in the week up to last Xmas. One bloke on Xmas morning (4am) was driving on the wrong side of the road, with no lights on and with sparks coming from one of his shredded wheels.
He had his wife and 2 young kids with him - he was 4 times over the limit!

I had 3 DIC last night. All before 3am. I only started at 11.
All of the above drew attention to themselves.
Had a text message off one of the lads this morning....one of them blew 150+

This business of paying people to encouraging them to shop people is a dangerous precedent in my mind. It is the sort of thing which was encouraged in the old Soviet Union. It opens the door to all kinds of revenge actions and would do nothing to strengthen our British society which is suffering enough already.
I hate the idea of drunk driving as much as anybody and I would be prepared to do all I could to stop a man driving in such a state. I certainly would not need to be paid for doing that though.

Lets put it on the other foot shall we-- would you shop your best mate, you know his wife(maybe shagged her), godfather to his son etc. Scenario he came out of pub had one or two too many. Not drunk but over, his home is nearby and he's a careful driver not some mindless chav who goes on a reckless joyriding crusade. You'd grass him for a grand? I don't think so

However I would take his keys and call him a cab, as has been done many times
