come again...
Pity you hadn't got banged up, I remember your original post on this knobjocky
I've got to say i think a lot of people have been very harsh on this fella as it was never once proven that he was over the limit. He got flashed and failed to stop, that was his mistake and the only one we can comment on i feel.
In his original story i believe he had a pint, followed by a Coke and then some time later a bottle of Miller - now i'm not an expert, but i know that some people could have those drinks and be more than capable to drive and considerably under the legal limit if breathalised. I know a guy who had 3 pints over the course of a few hours, got in the car (stupid c*nt), got stopped just round the corner from the pub and passed the breath test - it can depend on any number of mitigating factors ie food intake, length of time since last drink, metabolic rates etc etc. Therefore i think to label this guy as the scum of the earth is completely over the top, admittedly what he did was stupid but it's not like he went out and got hammered, drove over the police on the way home, woke up the next day and couldn't remember anything about it but thankfully his chav mates had filmed it and put it on youtube.
I'm as anti drink driving as anyone, but i think people on here have been overly harsh on this guy. Just my 2 pence worth

time for a law change me thinks
imo you shouldn't even be able to have the slightest sniff of alchohol then drive

I couldn't agree more, i've said so for years. Any drinker knows too that there's nothing nicer after a pint than another, so why put that temptation there. A zero tolerance policy would IMO be much more successful than the current attitude - also it would alleviate the problems of some people being over when others aren't, being unsure how much you can have etc etc.redliner said:time for a law change me thinks

I agree aswell. NO ALCOHOL whatsoever, whats the point in 1 pint??
BUT from this thread and others -
What I find hard to believe is all the law abiding people on here who drive an Evo and never got caught speeding, or had a bit of trouble or telling off from cops or a summons to court without the reaction of "knobjockey", "serves ya right" "ya chav" "hope they tear up your licence".
Some people are whiter than white if you listened to them or believed them. Funny to hear an Evo owner making the above comments as they are obviously complete hypocrits.
If thats the case I reckon some people should sell their Evos because they are obviously wasted in their posession. Cobwebs after 65mph and 4500rpm on clocks and 5th gear is seized from lack of use. Come on people for FFS.
By the way I dont condone dangerous/careless/drink driving but at some stage we all make a mistake or get caught out. None of as are angels, if we were we would all have bought a Toyota Prius.
Maybe we should give him a :group: Welcome to the MLR, & thanks for using all 24 post to tell us how you drink & drive, regardless if you were under the limit or not.TimFerguson said:
No he doesn't need a hug, yet again an overly sarcastic response.motorman said:Maybe we should give him a :group: Welcome to the MLR, & thanks for using all 24 post to tell us how you drink & drive, regardless if you were under the limit or not.
But you make out that this guy is possibly the worst type of human being ever to set foot on the planet, he may have broke the speed limit a little and nothing more than that - so settle down with the giving him abuse for something you don't even know he did ie drove while over the limit.
