Hi all....

Sorry to post this video, but as its that time of year again, I think we all need to be wholly aware of what
drink driving can do. If we are honest, we have all done it at some time in our lives (us older ones did not have breatherlisers to contend with in our early days) Scroll to bottom for video......
Mods....if you think not appropriate, or to heavy, please remove

Should be played in every school and collage once a week.
Also on prime time TV 

And opps the tree hugging, liberal human rights type idiots who infest our country

Remember the Green Cross Code advert in the 70's?

I can't be arsed to look the numbers up, but I'll bet that nowhere near as many people got ran over then as what they do now.

Drink drive limit should be zero

I don't know about zero, but there would be no harm in following suit with Scotland (and the rest of Europe) and bringing it down to 50 microgrammes per 100ml of breath as that's not enough to impair anybody IMHO and would still leave room for those who have eaten food that has been prepared with alcohol or indeed have had a couple of pints the night before.

A good idea would be for the public to have access to the same handheld device the police have so the driver can test themselves beforehand. Granted they aren't 100% accurate (for evidential purposes anyway), but it would give the driver a good idea of whether they can get behind the wheel or not.

the public to have access to the same handheld device the police have

Lol  Suppliers Lion would be rubbing their hands, they cost about £500 each & have to be re-calibrated every month, nice idea though. Although some 'twonks' will just use em to see 'how much they can drink before their over' if you know what I mean.

I think zero is a bit of a minefield......The answer is so so simple,,nominated drivers that take turns to do the driving and then we can all enjoy the occasion ...Grab a cab.....As someone has said we have all maybe done it at some time or another.But is it that difficult not to drink when driving..if so then those that do are so sad and cant have a life...So to those who do....get a life..dont take one away...let alone the grief  that it causes to all families involved including yours ..

That is the same amount arrested for DD by Kent Police during the first week of December.

One was a 15 year-old boy from Greenhithe who was arrested at 4:10am on 7 December. He was later charged with vehicle theft, drink-driving, driving with no insurance and driving without a licence.

15 years old you say? Well....that lot must be worth at least a 12 month supervision order.

I don't understand why anyone going out for drinks doesn't use a cab to get home. Ok so if you don't want to spend on a cab going out, take your car, leave it and then get a mate to give you a lift later the next day to go and get it.
Im going out tomorrow night for a pre chrimbo drink/curry with a few neighbours.....its local where we are going so will probably walk....but if it wasn't....and it was a £10 cab fare say....four of you in the cab that's £3 each!! Loose change!! But even if your on your own....£10-£15 sounds like a good deal against risking losing your licence for at least a year!!
