For all you know the guy may have had a single brandy on the way home from work, got pulled just down the road from the pub and then failed a breath test. QUOTE]
Oh, well thats alright then !!
People do strugge to read at times on here! I said that both are wrong but drinking 10 pints and driving my home is WORSE then the sitauation you have quoted. Just my opinion.
Drink Driving is Drink Driving. 10 Pints or one Brandy will make no difference if he kills someone. Maybe it's different in the Met ? You sure you were a copper ?
No, you are completely wrong on all counts!!!!!! :thud:For all you know the guy may have had a single brandy on the way home from work, got pulled just down the road from the pub and then failed a breath test.
That is a vastly different type of person to someone who drinks 10 pints and then kills someone on the way home from a night out. having worked as a copper in London ive seen more than my fair share of accidents and drink drivers however it has also taught me not to jump to conlusions.
IF someone close to you have died at the hands of a drink driver then naturally my sympathies go out to you but that doesnt mean you should react in that manner when you do not know the full circumstances. perhaps Water Boy feels in a position to clarify the circumstances. If not then thats his perogative.

Its very easy, you don't have a drink and then get into a car, start the engine and wobble out into the road........................... at all.............................. ever.
Even one little tichy whichy drink ossifer honest hic! will impair your reactions so don't defend the indefensible.

As i said, that was my personal opinion rather than the law however you will find that the sentence handed down would change drastically depending on if the defendant is just over the limit or 3-4 times over so actually it does make a lot of difference, although not if he had killed someone.
I have my opinion and stick to it. I dont drink at all when I drive but I also dont jump to conclusions about others based on limited information.
So based on the Limited info on this blokes thread what is your opinion of him ?
He has told us hardly anything, I agree. However, when he says that he has been banned for drink driving my opinion of him is that he is an idiot and deserves his ban. I also think that by doing this he has risked many lives and, who knows, one of those might have been someone I know.

Just to clarify it was the morning after and i was just over the limit, I know Im a stupid twat and i deserve what i got but to myself i felt fine as i know im not the only one that has ever done it or been in that position so before you judge me find out the facts please.
Also i would like to apologise to anyone that has been affected by D&D
Almost EVERY driver on this board will have driven, on occasions, the morning after a big night. Whether knowingly close to the limit or not, they'll all have done it.
That's not passing any kind of moral judgement, just the very likely situation.
