[quote=“farmerinthecity”]I can’t condone that Gman, and I wouldn’t try to, but would you not accept that there are tolerable levels in these sort of things? Like I mentioned about breaching the speed limit by 10 kms, how is that different than drining with two pints.
The thing about drink driving is that a lot of people have seen the ads and automatically associate it with something really evil when speeding is a far bigger killer on the roads.[/quote]
my reply was to Link farmer, and his talk of how he tries out manouvere the gardai so he can drink and drive. and I’d know the area he is on about well enough, and having drank nearby on a couple of occasions and seeing fellas have 10 pints or so and whiskeys and stumble out into their cars is, IMO, absolute bullshit.
I take your pint on the aul lad with 2 pints, not much harm, and also your point on speeding. but you look at the times of the majority of road deaths, early hours of the morning. no doubt speed could be involved, feck all on the roads, so speed on home. but I’d wager that a good number have drink involved too. As I said, people have this perception that if they can get away with drinking and not let the guards catch them, all is good. Yeah, all is good until they hop off another car or person.
