Christmas Bash Warning To Drivers

[dragon]

................................

Officers will increase the roadside breath tests and raise awareness of the risks of driving while under the influence during the festive season.

The Christmas THINK campaign will also see increased use of Field Impairment Tests such as balance and co-ordination exercises to detect drug use.

Revellers are advised to designate a non-drinking driver or make alternative arrangements such as getting a cab home from a Yuletide bash.

Anyone caught driving under the influence of drink or drugs will be arrested and can expect to lose their licence, be fined or sent to prison.

Quite right - don't have a problem with that whatsoever. I only wish that anyone found guilty of drink-driving would loose their licence permanently.

It's the morning after that is the problem. A friend of mine was still over the limit on her way to work the following day and got a 2 year ban.

Use beer bikes, business will be good over the festive season.

I'm with you guys - stay off the grog or leave the ride at home.

In Sweden the police are out in force in the morning, as most drink at home over there

I have some terrible pictures of the remains of a drunk driver and his friends, too bad to put up here

I remember reading this many years ago in a magazine..

A company director leaving a christmas party and a bit worse for wear decided to drive home in his new Ford Granada.
Fully aware that he may be over the limit he decided to be extra careful with his driving and decided to take the short motorway route as it was fully lit and he was less likely to be stopped..
He had just got on to the motorway when he noticed the blue lights approaching from behind, bugger he thot then hoping it was an emergency further along the motorway he duly slowed, but they pulled alongside and flagged him down.

He decided to get out and meet the officer as the smell of the drink wouldnt be as noticable in the fresh night air....''Good evening sir, I have noticed that your driving is somewhat irregular and you have no lighs on, can i ask sir if you have been drinking''

Ah he thot stupid really stupid what do I do now..
With that a car on the opposite carriageway smashed into the barrier, overturned and ended up upside down in the middle lane..
The cop and his mate ran over to help the occupants of the car

The guy stood for a few moments and then thot I wonder if I were to do a runner would these guys ever find me as they havent actually got my details..

So picking up a lot of courage he sidles over to the car opens the door and jumps in and takes off gently and drives off..gets home, still shaking, decides to put the car in the garage and get to bed..

Next morning 7am cops at the front door.. ''Good morning sir, need to ask you a few questions, do you own a Ford granada reg no............ ''
The guy replies yes that is my car is there a problem officer.

''Where is your car sir''
''Its in the garage officer''
''Mind if we have a look at it sir''
''No not at all officer i'll get the garage keys''

The guy goes gets the keys of the garage opens the door looks in and there sitting in all its glory

The message is very clear, if you valued your driving licence, comply else drink as much as you like and drive.
