Back many years ago I work with this girl who registered over the limit when when she was out with her friends. What I found most staggering was the amount of rights she had in terms of any further testing and court appearances and how she could go about keeping her licence etc.mighty_tiger_79 wrote:Heard that last night, and on friday the **** that mounted the kerb on morphett st last year, was in court trying to weasel his way out of it.

He said in the UK if you got done DUI you'd lose your job ( even if driving wasn't part of your role ) and you would most certainly lose friends through it.
Our culture of "If you drink drive you're a bloody idiot, but if you get away with it you're a bloody legend" is still very much alive. Sadly.
I'm not sure what the answer is, fines and potential incarceration don't seem to be working.
Incredibly sad event, I don't know how that man stood and spoke as he did.

Agree with you guys here, the message doesn't seem to get through about drink driving and it doesn't help that you don't really get the book thrown at you that hard.Footy Chick wrote:Booney wrote:My boss, originally from the UK, was amazed at not only the acceptance of "having a couple and driving" in Australia but that people caught over the limit keep their jobs, their friends even.

I know religion has a lot of bad elements to it (like REAL bad in many cases), but the comfort and help it brings to many people often get's overlooked by those who aren't into it. I finally managed to bring myself to watch the father speaking last night, as a father myself it was one of the toughest things I've seen/heard in a long time.
As for drink driving (along with several others), the laws either need to increase the level of punishment or they need to be applied properly. It's a scourge on society and needs to be seriously addressed.

They had something on A Current Affair last week about it, 12 - 13 year old kids doing it with a sock covering the can. $4 to get “high”
