Police, Camera, Action!

Errrr...I thought that if you had drank within the last 10 minutes then they couldn't do a breath test.

Or have I got confused by something.
 
LOL, killing someone by texting while driving - and she gets 21 months.

You want to know why people aren't abiding by the law? Because they know some Guardian-wielding judge will let them off lightly if they apologise.

Pathetic.
 
On a night early tonight people. Starting on ITV in a few minutes.

I'm guessing it will be up later tonight because the Corrie that was shown yesterday was meant to be tonight and is not up on there yet.


I didn't really concentrate while watching it, just had it on in the background. They talked a lot about tiredness and fatigue of drivers.
 
IN fairness American drivers are driving AWFUL handling cars ..

Just look at the suspension when they take corners hard. It is really pathetic, leaning over like they're driving a #float' from a carnival.

I understand they do this because there's not many corners in America (!!) but thousands of potholes, so they just think 'Let's make as soft suspension as humanly possible'. But honestly, driving round a car with 'cruise liner' suspension and choosing it as your getaway car .. I mean .. come on drug dealers! You're not even trying!

They have to wait for 20 minutes since your last drink.

Hence if you get pulled over and are remotely concerned you may be borderline

1) You're an idiot

but

2) Tell them you took a last swig of a mate's beer just 1 minute ago just to try it. This means they have to wait an extra 19 minutes before they can breath test you which will probably reduce you about half of a single pint of beer's alchohol. In this time if you were drinking non-spirits, try and drink as much water as humanely possible and this should reduce the score further by maybe total of 3/4 of a pint. DO NOT do this if you were drinking spirits though.

This just just may change you from a 'borderline' to a 'pass'. However, point (1) still applies .. you blimin' moron, what were you thinking? Also naturally this won't help if you're bladdered .. but in this case, frankly, I hope they throw the book at you .. not you personally Azza just a general 'you'!!

not neccessarily true, depending on how much and when you last drank the number that comes up on the breath test machine can actually increase the longer time passes
alcohol takes time to get out of your system and it has to get into it first :)

depends what era of car you're talking about.

If you're talking about the 70s, with cars like this


or cars like this


then maybe you have a point. But not with modern american cars
