drink driving check
murph:
Drunk drivers, keep em off the road, who cares what time of day they get tested, if they are prepared to do do it,,, then lets hope they get caught.
The police in this country also test at RTA's I have seen this many times, some think it quite inappropriate who Mr Plod asks them to blow in the box while they are being patched up by the paramedics, this is while were cutting the victims out of the other vehicles.
Certian distribution company's are considering bringing in random breath tests before drivers leave the depot's, fail they lose there job.
Dirty Gertie:
Last week in Coventry, the police had a big presence; pulling cars, and mostly those displaying the "crap driver" red cross on white background warning flags.
Personally, having seen the carnage caused by drunk drivers, and having had to comfort their victims' grieving relatives a few thousand times too often; I think anyone who drinks and drives should be banned from driving for life (bans don't reform very many of them!!) and branded across their foreheads, so that everyone can see what irresponsible, antisocial, murdering [person of questionable parentage] they are!!! :(vamp):

Totally agree with the zero tolerance. As a HGV driver if I do have a drink then thats all it is A Drink(usually a shandy too :oops: ) but know of several people who think nothing of downing 5 or 6 pints then driving from the pub, also had a driver that used to regularly turn at at 7am STRAIGHT FROM THE PUB.. god knows how he never killed anyone!!!
When I am on my bike the only thing I drink is pop,

Hers's a quickie for you...
Until I was made redundant in feb I drove an artic for Tesco.. I will name them cos they cant deny what Im going to say next.. one of our drivers lost his licence for being 3 times over the limit when stopped in his car. Tesco found another job for this guy for the year that he was banned for... wrong in my book... the guy should have been sacked on the spot. Then they put him straight back in a lorry and his drinking continues. 40 tons of tesco artic..... say no more. :(
The only reason I dont name the guy and our depot is because the moderators would most likely pull my post if I did...
WishIhadaLandy:
artic are like 40 ton guided missles in the wrong hands, my dads a transport manager in london and they have a zero tolerance on any law breaking, be it drinking and driving, using a hand held mobile, driving without a seat belt or speeding.
