I have no time for drunk drivers

Discussion in 'UK Motorcycles' started by Sir.Tony, Feb 12, 2004.

  1. I've had it happen a few times that I've had to be helped out to the car.
    What I do nowadays is, when I start to feel it a bit, I go out to the car
    and sit in, and have the waitress bring the drinks out to me. Any time I
    need a refill, I just toot the horn.

    Does the waitress always cum when you push your horn.

  4. When I'm that drunk, pushing it is all I can manage.

    but, reading the rest of the thread, fair, I think you'd agree.

  8. Shame when you have to point it out rather than just use it and sit back with
    a smug grin.

    Shame when people can't just accept it for what it is.
    Agreed!

    Alcohol drinking scum!!!
     
    Sir.Tony, Feb 24, 2004
  10. Now, this is the thing. If I was drinking alcohol and not driving,
    presumably you wouldn't have a problem? By the same token, if I was driving
    without having drink taken, again no problem, yes? Similarly, if I was
    driving after drinking, but not enough to put me over the current -
    ridiculously low - limit, this would be okay?

    But one little sniff over? Heh. Figures from the States reckon there's one
    fatality for every 600,000 miles driven while over the limit. That gives me
    a bit of leeway.

    It could be argued the limit is ridiculously high. The '92 T&WA limit is
    the same as the road.

    The BR Board adopted the medical zero (30mg) for their safety critical
    staff.

    Without becoming a drink drive bore, you either drink, or you drive. You
    don't do both. I speak as a train driver and the embarrasing uncle at
    /whatever/ wedding.

    Personally I don't give a toss.

    Just hope all understand an 'average' pint of beer takes 2.5 hours to be
    assimilated, (the usual specs say 1 hour per unit for 1/2 pint of 3%
    Heineken). So the sensible *8* pint night on Guiness/Stella/Directors
    you won't be fit to /drive/ until 17:00 the following day.

    sweller says...
    But there are variables within the strength of the drinks mentioned
    above; Guinness is 4.1, Directors is 4.8 and Stella is 5.2. Oh, and
    apparently Heineken (with the ABV of 3.4%) has been replaced with the 5%
    ABV as sold abroad.

    I'm struggling to think of a lager that would be sold per pint with an
    average ABV of 3% nowadays, even the Carling is 4.1%.

    And you were able to skin up a joint at 85mph, FFS, how can anyone
    accuse you of not being in control? If you weren't safe, you wouldn't
    have been able to hold the wheel and steer with your knees...! :)

  16. You know *nothing*.

    115mph, rolling up with one hand, dicking around with the wireless with my
    other, moby propped up on my shoulder, picking my nose with my left big toe
    and steering with my enormous prehensile knob.

    We should bring back random breath testing. I thing it should be standard
    procedure give a driver a breath test when being stopped by the police, for
    any reason.

    Not, so! I was just saying what I think about drunk drivers, but some idiot
    came on here and boasted about drinking & driving...., them lot's of people
    responded to that text!

    I always say what I feel and some people just don't like what I'm saying
