Drink and Drive?! Reviews

Having stumbled across this section and having read a number of the reviews on drink driving, one thing strikes me - most (if not all, I didn't read them all) are from people who agree drinking and driving is a no-no. Interesting there are no comments from the people who actually do drink and drive - does this mean they know they are guilty and ...

This subject is one that I hope nobody ever gives five stars and that is because in my eyes it can never ever be seen in a good light ever. On two occasions in my life drink driving has been bought up in horrible ways and many times after have I preached to people not to drink drive and here I will hopefully tell you why I think it is such an ...

Ok, i havent had a wee rant for a while so i think this is a good subject for me to have a rant on. Drink/Driving This is one thing that sadly i think just wont go away there will always be some idiot that thinks they can just simply get in their car after a few drinks and drive home, what is it they say "it will never ...

There is only one thing I can say about drink driving- It is absolutely crazy and NO ONE and I mean NO ONE should drive after having a drink. You may feel that you okay after a couple of drinks but you are not. Alcohol by definition slows the reflexes down and this could be fatal when driving if you have to suddenly stop. At ...

I have never considered drinking even one and driving, in fact I don't think anyone in my immeadiate family has. I cannot see why anyone would take that risk, one drink does not equal one life, I know from experience of drinking that I cannot take the risk. With one pint I am mentally impaired, not safe to drive, I doubt I would ...

Once again, im too young to drive but i thought that i would do another discussion though because i feel the need to get a Very Useful rating on a Discussion. However, to be honest i don't really think there is much discussion, because i doubt that anyone thinks (unless they're drunk) that you should drink at all if you are driving. I came up with ...

I only had the one does not go down well when you have taken a human life. What has anyone got to gain out of drink driving? Goodness knows!!! Many people are seriously hurt and killed by drink drivers every year and many drink drivers them selves are killed. My Uncle was hit by a drink driver a few years back and ...

There are a number of contentious facets to this review, which has been 'in preparation' for some months. If Crowns were a possibility (which they aren't in this category), then perhaps I would have polished it a little more, but hell, I haven't posted for a long while, so allow me this indulgence! I also held back ...

Sometimes you just have to learn the hard way... I'm ashamed to say I was brought up, as I'm sure many of you were, surrounded by drink driving. It never seemed to be much of an issue with my parents generation. Mrgreeneyeddad would finish early on Fridays, pop to the pub for a (fair) few with his work mates then arrive home in ...

Thursday, 17th January 2002. "Let's go. Hold on, where's Paul?" "He's coming. Wait for him, y'know what he's like." "OK, but at least put some music on while we're waiting, yeah?" "Yeah. Track 16?" "Wicked." "Here he is. Paul, Mike, get in ...

~ ~ This topic has been posted here at dooyoo for as long as I’ve been a member, and although I’ve been tempted on many occasions to throw my tuppence worth into the ring, I’ve desisted until now, for the very simple reason that it’s a kind of difficult opinion for me to write. You see, up until the time I stopped ...

No one can justify drink driving and like the rest of the country I am very much against it. It is so easy to arrange for one person if you are going out as a couple or more to be the one that drives and does not drink at all. But the latest on the news yesterday about the public "shopping" a drink driver to the police ...

This is an unusal category for me to be writing my opinion on but it is one I feel strongly about, let me first start by setting the scene. A young family in their late 20's are driving home with their baby who is just a couple of months old, they've been to visit the baby's grandparents... see them smiling the mother sat in ...

I have been riding motorcycles for around 6 years now and I have witnessed, on countless occasions, drink driving. Police should be concentrating their powers on catching people doing this as well as mobile phone users, not speeding at all, and I don't talk from being a points receiver. I just think someone over a 60mph speed limit by 10mph should ...

That’s the name of the play my school organised me to watch this afternoon. It was all about the dangers of drink driving and was based on a true story. A girl and her sister went out driving. Judy decided to drive home in her sister Jo’s car. Jo was the passenger and when the car crashed Jo died. Judy was unharmed, only ...

I'm sure you've all known someone who turns into a completely different person one they've had a few drinks inside them. They become more loud, sometimes difficult and just plain annoying. Well imagine if you've given these people a gun and a lot of targets. It wouldn't be pretty and the same can be said for the idiots ...

Drinking and driving, driving and drinking. Whatever way you want to have it, there ain't no way, and I mean NO WAY that it is good for anyone, especially you. Let me get this clear now, I don't think that drinking and driving is good at all. The way drink affects your driving isn't really clear, well it is, but alcohol ...

I just read jimblob's op on this same subject, and was impressed by his honesty. Early in his op he asked how many had the courage to raise their hand and admit to driving while under the influence. Well, unfortunately, jimblob and others, my hand is up. More than once, too, truth be told. Not that it lessens the stupidity, but I ...

I have heard that in some countries they have installed special breathalisers in cars and the car won't start until the driver has blown in to the breathaliser and been passed as fit to frive by the car itself. If this is the case then it souds like a good idea to me and I don't understand why the idea hasn't spread across the ...

My gran was a wonderful lady and even at eighty two years old she was very independant and led a full and happy life. She had started to show signs of senile dementia but nothing advanced and she still lived by herself in her flat. Why am I telling you about her? Well five years ago she was crossing the road and was knocked ...
