gnipper 5,975 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 I can never understand why people bother having a drink if they're driving, what's the point having one pint or even shandy? If I'm going to drink alcohol I'm getting pissed, if I'm thirsty and driving I'll have a soft drink or a brew. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rabid 1,936 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 I cover a lot of miles everyday, usually towing, I am no slouch behind the wheel, I get where I am going as fast and safely as possible, but some of the driving I have seen is dreadful, shocking, I can't describe some things I have seen, so I went out and bought a camera to film my journeys as I am convinced due to the mileage I do, at some point my new truck will get smashed up by some pillock not watching what's going on, driving like a twat, not having a clue how the road works, been on the phone, eating a bowl of cereal, looking for makeup on the floor and god knows how many other things people get up to. To sum up, I don't agree with people been on the roads pissed up, but I know for a fact there are far more dangerous people driving than the Bloke who had two pints after work ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryaldinhio 4,140 Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 What I dont understand is 99% of the reason people drink alchol is to feel the effects. If you feel the effects after one pint you shouldnt be getting behind a wheel. If you dont feel the effects after one pint whats the point? As gnipper said have a soft drink or whatever???

ryaldinhio 4,140 Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 and yes there are dangerous drivers on the road old, young, male, female, stupid, reckless. It doesnt mean that because you can driver 'better than them' after two pints that that should be acceptable?!?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryaldinhio 4,140 Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Anyone who gets in a car after a drink thinks about getting caught and the chances of it and if it would affect work not having a car etc etc. How about thinking about the innocent mother and children you may crash into and kill? How about thinking if you were at work and got that call that your family had been killed in a road traffic accident with a drunk driver????? To me it should be lower limits so it means you cant have a drink but also there is no claims of mouthwash and food stuffs etc. minimum 5 year ban from driving. I have said it before on here its about tine we had stiffer sentences for all crime and then maybe people would take notice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 44,391 Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Just like to add something, I was also caught on the same night. I blew over the limit in the police car but passed the test back at the station. If I told you what I drank and passed the test you wouldn't believe me. Cmon, you can't make a statement like that and not spill. About 8 cans of Stella and a big glass of JD, around 1 hour before getting pulled. Then you are a complete f***ing arsehole !! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
