I have 1 pint and drive. Usually if I go to the pub for a meal. I'm not breaking any laws.
I know plenty of people that get hammered and drive behind the wheel, I dont know how they dont get caught.
Just 3 weeks ago I reported someone for drinnk driving and they were convicted for being twice over the limit.

I have heard previously you can pick up a reward if you report a drink driver and they are caught

just wondering how many people drink drive
I don't drink anything if I am driving. I don;t see the point in just having one pint.
note that its the amount of alcohol in your breath or blood not just units.
also note a pint of premium lager is over 2 units

There was a program on bbc3 at some point recentlyish and he was breathalising at different points of the night and next morning.
His breath alcohol level was more the next morning than when he was drunk that night.

I dont have ANY time for people that drink drive. Saw a girl get ploughed down one night on the main street of Aberdeen by a drink driver.
She hit her head off the windscreen and the boot, then just lay in the road for 10 minutes til the paramedics came.
Words cannot explain how disgusted I was with the driver who fel out of the car once hitting the lamp post 50 meters up the road.

Was it not £500 mate?
Was an article in Max Power about a lad that did it ten times and got the £5000 once all were convicted.
Then proceeded to blow it on 18s and a Wide Arch kit for his 1.2 Corsa

To all the f****n twats who voted i get pissed an dont care, wait til someone u know gets hit by a drunk driver and has to spend 3 months in intensive care, an they're family doesnt know if they're going to live or die in the initial 24 hrs. Then from the that point that persons life is ruined, cant work, or do anything like they used to. Not just that it affects all the family.
Yeah compensation is ok, but i say f**k it, if i cud have things back to the way they were.
If i knew who u were i'd come an f**k u up, ur scum, an if i ever see anyone slightly pissed tryin to drive they'll know about it...
Incase u cant tell, this is a subject close to my heart, an i mean every word..

That was only a Xmas thing unfortunately. I've not had any reward money but at least the fella got prosecuted.
£500 would of come in handy though
