Beavis Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 For the first time in a very long time. Driving home from poker and just going through Newcastle i came to a police road block where they were stopping everyone on mass. I got asked by a policeman if i had a drink and i said yes, so i got taken to the back of a police car and did the test. Anyhow the test was clear as it would be because i only drink coffee and coke during my poker playing But seriously folks dont drink and drive especially at this time of year get a taxi instead it aint worth it.

rich5259 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Glad you were clear Remember folks, they can test you for any reason, so if you have an accident - even non-fault - they will get you to blow in the tube. As Bevis says, stay safe and take a taxi or don't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookiemonster Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 All good mate! Remember guys it takes the body an hour to get each unit you consume out of your system, so morning after can be just as bad if you had a heavy one!

gunmetalzgt Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Have to agree. Leave the car at home if you're drinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisS Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I work on the principal :--- It's easy'r to have 'None' than 'One' when driving. Works for me. And as said if you need to drive in the morning.....Stay off the stuff.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I got asked by a policeman if i had a drink and i said yes .... because i only drink coffee and coke during my poker playing genius they should be more specific about that really.

spursmaddave Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I got tested once when I was asked when I last had a drink, I replied I couldn't remember, not trying to be funny I just couldn't remember as it was at least 5/6 years! Obviously clear. Once worked with a guy that had been banned 3 times, had lost his license but still drove around p*****d! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vasser Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 It's the morning after the works night out that seems to be catching people out in Aberdeen. Police really clamping down on DD at this time of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rothers2901 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Been on a Road safety awareness day today with the Road policing unit. Specifically Drink/Drug driving. Anyway Part ot the imput was some horrific pictures of incidents and injuries sustained by inocent bystanders. I couldnt possibly post such pictures to emphasise the importance not to drink drive. But found this Picture which is quite distressing. Texas, when a drunk driver killed one person and injured 10 others when he fell asleep at the wheel and slammed into a bike race. Ps. just for those interested and are visiting the Z-Fest this weekend a Calibrated Breathaliser will be available for anyone to use.

AK350Z Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I'm avoiding the problem by cycling everywhere My running mate bought one of those battery assisted bikes for making the rural pubbing at home easier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 That crash was actually in Mexico, not in Texas. It was a Texan driving, though. I often think that it would a good idea at festivals and other major gatherings where the police are anyway to have a couple of coppers walking round with a breathalyser, and people could get themselves tested if they wanted to just to make sure they were under, or to shock them into realising they were still over but before they get into the cars. Even if you made them pay £1 for the tube, it would be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke0549 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I've still got the ones from when I drove through France on my ring trip. I'll use them if I ever need. But tbh, if I've got to check, i probably shouldn't be driving. 2 shandys max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with the first part about iof you are considering using a tester than you probably shouldnt be driving however I think it was posted earlier I'm a firm believer it's easier to have none than one when driving. Either leave the car and get a taxi or dont drink at all. I know that even a "shandy" can alter my own perception... but thats just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I've still got the ones from when I drove through France on my ring trip. I'll use them if I ever need. But tbh, if I've got to check, i probably shouldn't be driving. 2 shandys max. Exactly thats my thoughts on it. My mate actually has one of those DIY testers, but thats probably even worse as it may well show you are fine, but on another unit it may show you are over.
