Don't drink and drive this Christmas - my story

Poor joke.

However, today was the first time in my town that I've seen a police roadblock for breathalyzing people, weird to see!

Easy prey which gets their stats up unfortunately. Much easier to catch a bloke who's marginally over the drink drive limit than investigate a burglary which actullay requires a bit of detective work.
 
I got asked after my car accident (not my fault btw) had I had anything alcoholic in the last 30 minutes...I think they wait so they dont get false positives.

Actually, in AU you can demand to be tested at once. Blood alcohol can rise in 30 minutes depending on when your last drink was.
 
Reading the thread title just after watching Jackass 3, R.I.P Ryan Dunn.

But concerning the thread, lol irl, I can imagine Dad embarrassing the kids telling that one around the Christmas table

Or maybe it's that Roads Policing Units are set up to do that sort of thing, not investigate burglaries. That's why they have detectives.

Also, there's no excuse for being even marginally over the drink drive limit. The limit exists, everyone knows it's there, stay under it or better yet, don't drink at all.
 
A couple of nights ago, I was out with a few friends for a couple of drinks.
I had a few beers, and topped them off with a sneaky Aftershock. Not a good idea.
Knowing I was probably over the limit - I did something I'd never done before... I took a taxi home.
I passed a load of police at a roadblock, but as it was a taxi they just waved me through.
I arrived home safe and sound, which was a real surprise.
I have never driven a taxi before, and I'm still not really sure where I got it from.

Bloody Brilliant !!
