Drink Driving Penalty In Scotland
No, not me.
Touching a nerve here but I said I would find out what I could.
An aquaintance of a friend of mine (honest!) was rumbled the other night at 01:00 after having consumed some drink previously.
His test - breath, blood or urine, I'm not sure - showed 72 mg / 100ml.
I think the threashold is 35 mg?
He has a young but unblemished licence; what's he looking at?
Bear in mind it's Scotland, so Magistrates don't apply.
TIA,
Ken

What happened to the imposter? Get nuked? Good!
Pete does bring some valid 'alternative' ideas to the forum. We haven't go to like or agree with them, but judging by the usual responses they get people talking/thinking which is what i'm sure he intends.
Don't get starting a fan club yet PSL, but this place would be poorer without you.

Depends where he appears in court - different Sheriffs have different standards. For example in Shetland (Lerwick Sheriff Court) there have been four figure fines in the past year. Other courts are more lenient. A minimum 1 year ban is mandatory.

Why was my reply taken off? Could it be that the mods on here condone drink driving? If any of them had seen the results of DD then they would have left my post alone!!

Thanks to all. This is the type of information I was searching for, not judgemental or facetious nonsense.
I'll advise my colleague to tell his M8 to start looking for a good price on mountain bikes at Halfrauds.

It was removed because I removed all of the posts made on this thread by someone trying to impersonate Pete.

I think in a lot of cases you have to do an extended retest after the ban as well ? something like an hours driving, and you can only make a few minor mistakes.
Without being judgemental, wouldnt bother even taking the risk myself - thats what taxis were invented for !
