Sack him !

 

[Fade_To_Black]

Big deal. Who cares. This is news why??

 

[hobbo]

He should've had a lay down , just like his players :laughing:

slow news week?

8.45am Sunday morning tells me he was drinking the night before and was probs driving to work in the morning. Big deal. The amount of people who do this is ridiculous. Anyone who says otherwise is stupid.

In fact, I've done this a million times. A good night's sleep doesn't do [EDIT THIS WILLOW] to lower your alcohol/blood level if you've been drinking a lot.

Its definitely not the responsible thing to do, but if you like to have a drink, but you work the next day, it's something you have to deal with.

Every new car should have a breath analyser installed and can't be started until you blow under the limit

And before someone says yeah but you just get a sober person to blow into the analyser , you get caught doing it you get fined 10 k and if you murder someone you get done for life without parole

Too many innocent people are killed every year by drink drivers and drug drivers and they get slapped over the wrist for it

And before someone then says "what about the price added to a new car " spoke to an expert a few years ago about this , less than $300 cost price installed

Reckon its worth it ??

Your car would fail to start if you were sober :laughing:

Seriously though .. Good idea mate !

 

[WestsSupporter]

I don't like the car failing to start part, but it would definitely make people make better decisions. And people would then be more liable, you know - you knowingly drove under the influence. Most people go to work on Sunday/Monday without even realising they're over the limit.

i knew a guy done a few times DUI and as part of his sentence the last time was he had to have a similar device installed on his car…

I kid you not he drove around with one of those dome type foot pumps to blow up air mattresses in his car, and I dont think he ever blew in it himself, ever.

Until one day you just finish washing your mouth with listerine before work, have to wait 10 minutes for the mouth alcohol reading to go down so speed to work and kill someone…

This is just one reason mouth alcohol readings are not used in court and you must provide a blood sample. Hence why it's a blood alcohol limit not a mouth alcohol limit. Maybe we could just insert a needle into our arm instead of a blowing into a mouth alcohol reader. Or maybe we should take away al personal responsibility and move into small individual rooms where our food is rationed and exercise is monitored and other people can decide what's safe and what is not. That way no one will ever cause any harm. I mean sure we are jailing people who haven't done anything wrong yet, but they could, Se we need to safe proof the future! Won't somebody think of the children!!! Ok so I'm sorry I haven't really added anything to this conversation but my god we have to stop this nanny state mentality....

Maybe Bob when you lose your pregnant wife to be and Grandmother within 7 months due to drink drivers you might understand

Or maybe not

Are you serious? Over the limit is over the limit! If the alcohol is still in your system the next morning then your reactions and decision making is affected. Shame on anyone in this day and age if caught driving over .05 and shame on anyone who condones it or shrugs it off as no 'big deal'. I guess until you lose a friend or family member, some people just won't get it.

The thing that amazes me that it was over the Long Weekend when every man and his cat and every woman and their dog knows that they have a blitz on this very type of behaviour, either Mary had one or two cocktails too many the previous night or coaching the Dragons is driving him to drink!.

 

[stryker]

You have to either have a tonne of drinks or drink well into the early hours to be still over at 9am the next day.
Id have my half dozen most nights but be done by 10 or so to ensure i am right to go the next morning.

If thats a personal story I'm sorry, but my point still remains that you cannot put restrictions on everybody because of the stupid minority. I do not get why enforcing everybody to have to return a negative test because a minority make poor decisions.

Do we need to extend this to being tested for ice before you walk down the street as some people become violent when on the drug?

Your hypothesis is so detriment to our view of society and brings us to the lowest denominator instead of rewarding those who can make sound decisions.

From the posts of yours that I read you don't sound like a teenager, surely you can remember in your youth you were given freedoms and they were taken away if they were abused. The mentality these days is to just remove freedoms for everybody because punishing those who have made mistakes and are now reformed is unjust. It just seems backwards to me. However it seems Hobbo agrees with you… Hell maybe I just have things absolutely wrong.
