blackmaggie 3,376 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 having seen what a drunk driver can do like killing a kid in this case i hope they bring it to the rest of the uk everyone knows the risk so theres no excuse ban them crush there car or sell it and give them a fixed fine of 5 grand fine a taxi costs on average what a tenner start making piss head drivers pay a extended test at a grand would be a start 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blackmaggie 3,376 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 i agree totally n/l i would like it to be made in to zero units theres no excuse for drink driving 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beam 130 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Me personally I think there should be a zero units limit, as I lost my father to a drunk driver it's all so real. Weather it be one or ten it's still going to change your judgement. Yis, beam. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yn Manninagh 45 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 I'm totally in agreement with the new lower limit, as are most of the people I've spoken with here in the village I live in, in Scotland. One of the points talked about is how many drinks you can have at home in an evening, without being over the limit the following morning. I'm sure a few drivers will be caught out during the short term. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil82 1,075 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 lets get something into perspective here as the general consensus seems to be hang all drink drivers out to dry, I agree that drink driving is a serious crime and can destroy peoples lives but all this new law will do is make even more come into the limit to be classed as being drunk at the wheel, do you realise that under this new proposed limit one spoon full of grannies sherry trifle classes you the same as the twat who gets into his car because he`s too pi**ed to walk home Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bracken boy 584 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Neil spot on, if i get caught over by a short bit theres noway im a bad bad driver and i bet i can still out drive most, now what is does make me is not complying with the new law or not understanding it, now before u all go potty i passed car and truck go ive never had a point on me and i do comply with laws but it all gone crazy again because if the serial drinkers who dont bother with insurance either, so lets say it zero what no drinking at nightime??? Geez what a pathetic boring country we are becoming... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Country Joe 1,411 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Just listening to Radio Scotland, who are talking about the subject four drivers already been caught out next morning driving. It appears if you are driving next morning after a few drinks, don't, get a taxi. The problem will be how long you have to leave it, before driving next day. people are buying cheap breathalyzer kits for £20 but would you trust losing your licence on a cheap bit of kit. i worked on a detox ward, and regularly used the same breathalyzer as the police, and they always had to calibrated, so i would not trust these kits.

Tiercel 6,986 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Isn't a breathalyser just an invitation for a blood test? TC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brigzy 1,298 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) I'm wholly against ANY drink driving; but surely this throws up a huge question of law; if someone from England is breathalized in Scotland and is just above Scottish limits, but below English limits, they will be banned in Scotland, but why should they be banned in England ? Why should another counries laws apply to England ? If some one gets banned in, say, Australia, the ban doesn't apply here ! Edited December 5, 2014 by Brigzy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bracken boy 584 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) So what is drink driving?? If im below the new ddl limit just im stil driving with drink in my system??? Its gone to far i say again i obey law but its the 2 and 3 times over limit that are twatts and stopping us living and enjoying a drink.

nothernlite 18,080 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Think its just a case of being responsible and not drinking to much if your driving the next day and if you can't don't drive and get some help because you've got a problem lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
