WhistleHappy Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 OUCH! Although, £86 grand is probably, erm, small beer to him ! (..if there was any justice for Britain's ripped off car owners/drivers though wouldn't it be fairer to all if fines revenue from traffic offences and parking penalties etc were ring fenced and added to the National roads budget?... would certainly fill a few bloody pot holes, and save drivers a few bob on road damaged vehicle repairs (all of which carries added VAT of course) ... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God knows what either of them were thinking. If I'd tried to drive plastered like that in front of my mum, let alone get her in the car with me, she'd have given me a proper hiding.

Knobhead That's the bit I couldn't understand at the time.... His mum supposedly moved in with him to help with his problems, -marriage, booze and drug addictions. Yet she gets into the car with him to take dogs for a walk when he must have already been obviously pissed (or at least had clearly been drinking) .... Why the **** would she do that, given the reason she was staying with him in the first place? .. I'd have thought she'd have been more observant regarding his drinking given the circumstances. Or was she condoning his choice to drink & drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was she condoning his choice to drink & drive? When you look at the images of him getting out of his car he is clearly pissed. It does make you wonder what suppprt he’s getting from those who’re meant to be there for him. It appears his life is in a complete mess, wouldn’t be surprised if there’s further news about him before this year is out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The limit is still 80mg, for a blood test, hasn’t changed for years. The 35mg is breath, that came in after the crystal blow sticks ( easily beatable) were superseded.
