Stitch_KTF Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Sounds to me like some someone needs a nice calming cigarette... Maybe so, but instead I'll have to try going to Tokyo Project to partake in their 'All You Can Drink For £6' promotion and 'socialise' with some idiots. After all, I wouldn't want to break the law now would I..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimsleftfoot Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I hate point scorers.... I clearly meant if they go over the legal limit.... In the same manner, does someone who goes slightly over the drink drive limit deserve 10 years or even the same punishment of someone who can’t stand up?

Makes little difference... The limit is their for a reason.. After that amount your ability to drive is not what it needs to be... Don't drink and drive... Simple isn't it...

opinions4u Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) I have little sympathy with those who drink and drive. Drink in relatively small amounts affects your judgement which, if you get behind the wheel, endangers the lives of others. I have driven whilst under the influence (in my late teens). I realised how bloody stupid it was when, as I headed down the A34 dual carriageway in Didsbury lots of headlights were coming straight at me. There is little excuse for it, and while proposing 10 year sentences for those convicted is draconian, I think there is more than a strong case for going significantly beyond the driving ban and fine that offenders usually get.

real Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 So for the police to have taken him to court there will be a breath test on record taken at the nick which proves he was over the limit.... or He refused the breath test and he is in the :censored: regardless.... Just confused how the hell he is going to get away with pleading not guilty... Unless of course he didn't give a sample and is hoping to take the 12 months, 5k fine etc... As far as I am concerned if he did drink and drive hope he gets ten years.... I have little tolerance on the subject... Yeah, nice trip. Fishing for an argument with a crass post. Don't bother asking me to explain why it's crass, I'm sure you can work it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stitch_KTF Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 See how you feel if its your kid someone just over the limit hits... 1-22 I'm realistic enough to think that if somebody was JUST over the limit when they hit someone then they would probably have hit them anyway. The threshold is that low that there will be many people more capable to drive whilst over the limit than others driving sober. But yeah, if it was my kid I'd probably feel biased emotions. As it is I can remain objective, touch wood. 2-22? Should pedestrians have a drink limit to walk by the side of main roads? If they were to stumble into the road an innocent driver may swerve and end up killing themselves? Even worse it could be your beloved bus, but then they are all empty I suppose.
