Drink Driving Trafficlawyer4U
I understand it's a Google ad, but WTF!
An automotive enthusiasts website and an encouraging add, promising a possible way out if caught drink driving. Caught Drink Driving @ Christmas?Save Your Licence! Call 08000325930Trafficlawyer4u. com/ Christmas-Drink If you are caught drink driving, let them put you balls on the kerb and well and truely stamp HARD on them :nono: |
I Agree.
Drink Drivers deserve to never drive again!!!!!!! |
Totally agree with above. Should be jail every time.
You hear about people who get caught 2 or 3 times and it only sinks in when the prison door slams shut on them. We should also be like other countries where the limit is an absolute zero. Then there would be no doubt about the 'can I have 1 pint or 2?'. Why it can be so hard for the government to implement it is beyond me. |
I viewed scoobynet last week using google chrome without any ad blocker running - what a nightmare it was :mad: I'll never try that again...

Good post :thumb: Precisely the reason why there should be a a limit greater than zero. |

I would have thought, but this is a more complicated area. How do you know for sure when you are actually ok to drive after a night out? |
The short answer is that you don't know (and there is no reliable way of knowing) when you are ok to drive the morning after unless you have a personal breathalyser.

Tell that to the copper who got off with drink driving because he ordered drinks and didnt know the alcohol content of them so he was let off by macclesfield magistrates........... he still has his license!

You might find that 'pigs' get found not guilty but still lose his job. There have plenty of times when it's been the opposite sentence/fine where the cop has been made an example of. Oh....and have you not read the other thread about that poor, poor 'wheelchair bound' man?? Boo hoo for him :( |

not convinced with that story
and i think the limit is about right tbh. |

If you desperately need to however, you should have been responsible enough to think about that on the previous night! Les |

Or you need to keep track of how many units you consume and then use the 1 unit = 1hr rule. For example if you consume 10 units of alcohol in a evening it will 1 hr for the body to start to process and digest the first unit then 10hrs til the alcohol is out of the system. 3 units= 4hrs 5 units= 6hrs 7 units =7hrs Each unit equals a hr plus the body wont start digeting for the first hr. HTH |
That has been shown to be the most unreliable method you can use ^^
|
the only sure way to know a limit is to have one set at zero, no confusion, no arguement if caught.

Little OTT especially considering driving the day after the night before. You never really know, sunday afternoon/evening for example if you are still over the limit. Not really fair to put this kind of person into prison for an error of misjudgement.

Not if your a copper its not. one rule for them............. |

Since when has giving out a larger top instead of a shandy equated to putting ghb into someones drink? And i dont think in a gangsta i just havent been wrapped up in cotton wool like some of the excuses for men that post on here! |

As an example, i would expect that tossing a coin would be less accurate that something based on the scientific study of the rate of metabolism of the human liver! mb |

im not having that, some might say im speaking bollocks but i have been in a car when someone has had six pints over 4 hours and passed a breath test!
Coppers said he was ok to drive and let him on his way Some people get lucky! my mate got pulled over and he was rat faced. Passed the test and the copper begrudgingly let him go but told him not to touch the car again that night because he might fail the test in a hours time! prior to being pulled over he and smoked 2 cigarettes in the space of 10mins which i think saved him:eek: Sadly there will never be a zero drink drive limit due to the fact that so many day to day household products contain alcohol in them. Everyone is different and some people can fail the breathalyser after only 2-3 pints while others can manage more. |
