I guess it wont make those who have lost loves ones to drivers over the limit wont be too happy either There is no circumstance which can justify driving your car over the limit, even just by a couple, although I'm not surprised to see it dismissed on here as a triviality.

Miller Jambo 60 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Quality. One good thing about being off the drink, i know im defo ok for driving. Still think anyone who drives, even with 2 pints is being silly. You need your wits about you with the ammount of aerses on the road. Some dont need a drink to be dangerous at driving.

jambos are go! Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 These measures like speed cameras are as much if not more about detering people from drinking and driving as much as catching offenders. Pretty sure this thread stopped a few drivers going out and it certainly wont have provoked all but the mad from venturing forth. Given that the Police want to deter then I think they will be pleased to see this thread instead of being mad about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigC Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 One of my old man's mates got in his car after 4 pints, rolled it into a field and left behind a wife and three kids. Whilst I've never driven when I've been over the limit, there's been a few times I've driven after 1 pint and I can clearly notice the difference in control I have over the car. I'd be far too scared to get in the car after any more than that. Anyone who thinks it's OK to drive over the limit is nuts and if anyone is doing it I hope the coppers catch them.

132goals1958 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I've been breath tested four times over the years - all of them negative. What gets on my tattie is the way they speak down to you even before you've done the test. And they're not even apologetic when they have the gut-wrenching disappointment of you not "blowing a red". :santa1: A few years back I was driving back from Glasgow, and although the fuel warning light was on I mistakenly thought I could make it back home. When I approached the Newbridge Roundabout the car became a bit sluggish, and it ground to a halt, just before the slot in the road at Ratho. There was a police car behind me who stopped the traffic and helped me to push the car into the insert of the road. Was breathalysed and given a lecture about being irresponsible in having insufficient fuel. They then run me to that garage on the way to Broxburn to get a container. As I was getting out their car I thanked them, adding I would only be a few minutes, anticipating they would give me a lift back. It wasn’t so much there refusal but the impart of the response which more or less indicated in no uncertain terms where to go. I had to trudge back and forward twice in the rain but on reflection I suppose I should have been grateful for the lift. What really took me aback, was their complete turnaround in attitude from initially being helpful, to more or less telling me to take a flying feck.
