Nice one! ?500 for shopping a drink driver?

I work in a Restaurant, so that'll be me encouraging people to drink and drive (when there's no one around to hear me). Then shopping them. :wink: :lol:

marty - turn this thread into a poll, go in and edit your inital post

would you do it or no you wont - would be interesting

i have to say hand on heart i have drunk and drove once and that was only one drink, and around the corner (two turns and i was home!!!), simply because its not worth it, im not a big drinker anyway, and i havent really drank since ive been dirinvg :? freaky! it all goes on petrol instead!!!

I think it's a good idea, I'm down the pub evernight anyway I might aswell make some money. I know all the locals(I have been drinking in there nearly 5 years) and I know that some drink drive :evil: so that would mean some more money for them 22's :twisted:

A bloke I know, use to always drink and drive and didn't think anything of it. Until one night he was driving back home after driving about 20 mile while under. He was about 3 miles from his home, when he look at his speedo(he was doing 90 in a 60 country road). Then he looked back up and there was a 90 degree corner, which was too late to turn. He hit a grass back at 90mph in his Mk5 Escort. The next thing he knew was the police and that were there(He had been knocked ou for 30 mins{if he had not been, he would have legged it and said his car had been stolen}. The police took away at 3.00am and tested every hour and he didn't pass till 12.00pm( he was over 3 times over). He went to court got ban for 18 months(reduced to 14) He had to pay ?360 court costs. His insurance company paid out for his car. They paid out ?2100 for his car when he only paid ?1700 for it. So he was ?40 better off. His car was a mess, if I a pic( it wound stop anyone drink driving. The front end was under the car and engine was sitting 12inches out of the car.

Anyway he's not banned now and driving but not drinking.

But if it take that as a wake up call :roll:

heard that the lad across the road from me who bought a fully done up nova was drink driving.

ooooo i would take pride in shopping that fcuker :D

wouldnt shop friends or family tho but im against drink driving cos its always innocent lives that get taken neva the driver.

+ ?500 would get me a 1.4 16v conversion.........or 5% of the insurance premium

I'd shop anyone! People i don't know? Definitely. And i'd tell them i did it.

Friends/family - if i knew they were going to do it, i'd tell them not to do it. If they did, regardless of what i say, i'd shop them. 'For their own good'. Though it'd be spineless to just watch your friends/family do it, and shop them without warning.

Oh and i'm going to get led washer jets. Yeah baby, i'll make them cool!
