Davyo Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Regardless of how much the tit drank he should be banned for life,no excuses.Anybody who has been convicted for drink driving should never be allowed to get behind the wheel ever again regardless of the lame excuses for doing so.

evo Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Here we go again ? IMO anyone caught drink driving and/or using a mobile phone should be banned for a minimum of 3 years, for each unit over the drink driving limit it should be a further 2 years, but 12 times over then the clown should be banned for life, just my thoughts atb Evo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel b3 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Is that really possible ?, you would have thought that so much alcohol would be lethal, he should certainly never be allowed to get behind the wheel ever again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Interesting isn't it the drink drive limit (UK) is based on alcohol in the body, not its effect on the suspect. We may laugh at the US "sobriety tests" however depending on a number of physical factors, you can have differing levels of alcohol which effect people very differently. There is evidence that heavy cold can have more effect on reaction times than an illegal amount of alcohol. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2582940/Driving-cold-bad-drunk-snorer-having-bad-make-menace-wheel.html HEAVY COLDS CAN HALVE CONCENTRATIONOur concentration when driving with a bad cold or flu drops by more than 50 per cent according to research from Cardiff University’s Common Cold Centre. This is the equivalent of downing more than four double whiskies. Car safety experts found reaction times dropped sharply and sudden braking became much more frequent as motorists with bad colds were less aware of surrounding traffic.

keg Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 I'd happily jail the man for life. If you drink and drive, you know exactly what you are doing. If you kill someone it should be murder.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me about it. The **** who killed my 14 year old son and his friend was 3 times over the limit, and had just had another 'fine' for driving whilst disqualified for the fourth time. Thankfully, the **** died at the scene, as did my son's friend. My son fought for his life for almost two days then lost the battle. 11 years tomorrow I lost him. Banning people like that does not stop them driving. Banging them up for a long prison sentence keeps them off the roads for as long as they remain in prison. If he had been sent to prison for just a few weeks, my son and his friend would be here today, and I would not be taking flowers up the cemetery tomorrow morning! Edit. My apologies for 'sounding off'. As you can imagine, its still very raw in my mind, even after 11 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evo Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) agree Steve,locking them up should stop them from driving on our roads and also their driving ban should commence once they get out, if caught again they should serve double the sentence but we have to be honest there are some idiots out there who will never stop drink driving,,sad but true thoughts are with you and your family for 2moro mate atb Evo Edited November 22, 2014 by evo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scum (and that's putting it mildly) who killed my son, had been banned for the 4th time, as I mentioned. He died at the scene, too quickly as far as I am concerned, and his blood/alcohol level was checked after he died. Only three weeks before, did he get a fine for driving whilst disqualified. Thanks mate. Sorry to hear about your son and his friend Steve. Thank You. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keg Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Steve, thoughts are with you, must be hard to talk about it even after 11 years. After 2 convictions, lock them up for life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzy518 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 I hate drunk drivers with a passion. Have all too often been there at the scene dealing with the carnage, had to knock on someone's door to tell them a loved one won't be coming home anymore. I have no sympathy with drink drivers and really enjoy locking them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeon controller Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Steve, you have the right to sound off , deepest sympathy for your loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Anyone who causes a death by DD should be at the very least jailed for manslaughter . Steve it must have been awful to lose your son in such a manner and I am sure it has left a scar that will never heal , I lost a very good friend to a DD about 25 years ago. My thoughts are with you for tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyxologos Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 I agree. The scum (and that's putting it mildly) who killed my son, had been banned for the 4th time, as I mentioned. He died at the scene, too quickly as far as I am concerned, and his blood/alcohol level was checked after he died. Only three weeks before, did he get a fine for driving whilst disqualified. Thanks mate. Thank You. I can understand your sadness and frustration. I was in a fatal crashed. Three people died, I was the only one to survive. I was on the driver's seat, stopped at the traffic lights. A disqualified serial drunk driver pushed us in the way of an eighteen wheeler. He was arrested and jailed for five years. Out in three. Back behind the wheel drunk, caused another two deaths, including his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davyo Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 In the case where a drunk driver kills then it should be murder ,no manslaughter or any get out clause,murder fact. You get in ca car and drive knowing too well that it's illegal but you do it so let the punishment fit the crime.I also lost a friend to a drunk driver,he had just proposed to his girlfriend that same night and was walking home looking forward to the future but a DD mounted the pavement and killed him but continued to drive for about 2 miles with my mates body through the front screen before he parked up and walked home.it was noted in the coroners report they he Was probably still alive when he was left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English archer Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Some very sad storys in this thread. Condolences to anyone who has lost a loved one, or friend to a drink driver. And I include myself in that, as my 6 year old cousin lost his life 20 years ago, to a drunk driver who mounted the pavement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) I was in the children's hospital recently with my son and the story's in there are scary. The bloke with his son in the next bed lost his dad and his son was brain damaged after a range rover had hit them through dangerous /speeding 30 in a 60 I think he said Edited November 23, 2014 by team tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chady Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I know you can't be accurate because every one is different. I wonder how many pints of average strength beer you need to drink to get 12 times the limit?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
