you're the kind of person I hate to be honest.

"I think the alcohol hasn't affected me, so that's ok"
Your high alcohol tolerance claim is bollocks tbh

It's been proven that people who say that, reaction times are still slower etc than when they haven't been drinking (of course, they are, they have been drinking DUH) even though THEY think the drink hasn't affected them.


And as for the zero tolerance thing, well, that wouldn't be possible to monitor, because apparently everyone has a trace natural amount of alcohol in their blood stream, so you wouldn't be able to do that. Hence why we have the limits we have now, well that's what some science guy said on a tv program I seem to remember :P

At the end of the day if you get caught drink driving and are above the limit then you deserve to have the book thrown at you.

I agree there. Alcohol is alcohol. No matter how immune you are.

gin, Im going to be blunt again, as its obvious being nice doesnt get through to you.

Your a f**king idiot. You deserve to be locked up and never let out. You will kill someone and ruin peoples lives and your trying to justify it. People like you dont deserve to be treated like others in a normal civilised society. Your a prick.

That's a bit harsh isn't it? So he's glorifying the fact his alcohol tolerance is higher than others. It's probably cause he drank himself silly once he reached the legal age, and he's probably got the beer belly to prove it too!

As for this "natural amount of alcohol in the bloodstream", care to provide some concrete evidence?

He put peoples lives at risk and doesnt show any sign of regretting it. He goes on to use the exact same excuse that everyone caught drink driving uses (and yet some people still buy it). Being called a prick for putting peoples lives at risk is too harsh? I could have been alot harsher than that.

No. Your an alcoholic cu*t who has no place in society since you delbratly put people at risk and then attempt to justify it, just so you can enjoy getting a bit drunk. The sooner the world is free of f**tards like you, the better off this world will be.

Do I really need to tbh? This "alcohol tolerance" being higehr thing is complete bullshit, sure, he may well be able to drink loads and still be able to speak/walk normally with no problems, but his reaction times are not going to be normal. We have the drink drive limit to get @#$%& like that off the roads, and to try to justify being caught drink driving is bloody unbeliavable.

too bad that this @#$%& has been more and more in Holland
I would track down the bastards and kick their asses

follow up to my previous message about the monitoring thing.

In some countries they do have even lower drink limits than in the UK etc, the thing I seem to remember someone saying was that the limit should be absolute 000000%, which is when I think someone said that that couldn't be monitored or something, and that you have to have a "measurable" limit.

Either way, stop trying to justify drink driving, if you drink and are over the limit then you're a prick. Dave is right :P

Vader said Gin should be nailed to a tree by his scrotum. But since hes a drink driver who rather than admit his mistake would rather try and justify it, I suggest Gin is not a real man and therefore should be nailed to the tree by his eyeballs since he would lack the ballsack skin to to it Vaders way.

Losing it once because of drink driving is bad enough, losing it twice makes you deserve all the disdain you get.

REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS

I support Gin, and will be more than happy to help him get over this ongoing problematic period in his life.

I suppose you could drive him somewhere to get help...

What a load of crap.

So you say you have a high tolerance, yet you were caught? The police obviously had some reason to pull you over.

Just a few weeks ago someone (who was most likely drunk) was driving at 70mph down the main city centre street, 20mph limit. He went through the metal pedestrian protection fencing and right into a Italian restaurant window. The worst part of it all? He legged it leaving his passenger with serious wounds, wasn't wearing a seat belt and put his head through the windscreen

Sickens me that someone can have so much pride to boast about being banned from driving when people are killed and families ruined because of idiots like you.

oK..why is everyone getting mental over this? Trust me, after my last ban Ive definetly learned my lesson. For me not driving for 2.3 years has been tough due to my geographical location and i will probably pay a fortune for my car insurance now....And by saying that i have high tollerance to alcohol i didnt mean that i will drink drive again, just that if the limit is one (two?) pints of beer it doesnt mean i will be drunk.

also, about reducing alcohol limit to zero. What i meant was that a lot of people get caught when they had a bit to drink thinking that they are still under the limit. Another problem is that, some people get caught drink driving the following day after a night out as their body still hasnt got rid of the alcohol and they think they might be still under the limit anyway. Having zero alcohol limit for driving would reduce the amount of people drink driving. This however will not remove the problem completely, but still, it has worked in other countries.

As I'm sure many members here will testify, I'm not afraid to drink a bit. Or a lot. In an hour. But even I, the stereotypical alcoholic, know not to drink if I'm driving (or riding in my case) the next day. I have a max of 3 cans any night before I'm on the road.

If you're not sure whether you're over the limit or not, you have a problem. It's really that simple. If you get to the point where you can't decide whether or not you should take to the road, then you have a problem. If you've drunk a limited (by law, not by interpretation) amount of alcohol 12hrs before you're due to drive, then you'll be fine. It's not a case of 'OK, I feel fresh' - the body doesn't work like that. I probably drink more than most on the this forum, but I've never, ever even thought of pushing the boundaries.

It's not worth it driving.

It's not worth it if you get caught.

And it's certainly not worth it if you end up knocking over a kid on their way to school.

If you have to think about it, catch the bus, or seek help (and I don't mean in a clinic afterwards).
