Simple.
Not necessarily, there is the school of thought that would lay blame at your door too, for knowing what they were going to do and taking no action to prevent loss of life where you could have. Perhaps, only a brainless moron would not do their utmost to prevent them?
Really, you wouldn't be sad at the loss of human life? Only compassionless morons don't feel sad at unnecessary loss of human life!
Surely when you were drinking the 2nd pint it was on your mind that you might be over?
have only drove once myself drunk, didnt give a fuck at the time but realised how daft it was
got into car with someone drunk plenty of times, which is just as stupid, but you dont really think at the time. was in a pretty serious car crash as a result of this last year and that literally knocked a bit of sense into me
:yes: If I've been out with my friends, they've either not drunk at all or only had a few. When my parents go out, they either don't drink at all or don't drive.
Ah, I see, where you think there's a change you might not succeed, you don't bother trying, right?
I've been swerving about town after a night out in mates car. Zig zagging through rusholme traffic, like a lunatic he was! It's so so dangerous and I cant believe we didn't cash and burn. Never again like!
How about at least trying to do something about it?
Well I'd been in the pub earlier just to watch the football. It didn't cross my mind there and then because I had no intention of driving that day. Went home after that and had been at home for a good few hours and had even eaten my dinner. When my brother asked for a lift to his mate's house, I just totally forgot that I'd been drinking earlier in the day. I know it was foolish and I have to start accounting for these things more.
chortle
Taking their car keys, nagging them, calling a taxi, lying in front of the car and refusing to move, etc, etc.
I will never ever advocate anyone have a single drink and then drive and I make my dissaproval very clear of anyone that does.
If I'm driving the next morning I won't drink anything and I certainly wouldn't if I was driving the same day.
IMO we should have a limit a quarter of what it is to prevent people drinking anything and driving.
If I was out/at a party and someone left to get in a car and I couldn't stop them I would call the police without a second thought.
It's just not worth it! Have a coke instead!
Ket ? That's crazy man.
Nah I never drink and drive. Its obviously stupidly dangerous, but i'd lose my job if i couldn't drive. None of my mates drive pissed tbh but a fair few of them drive after pills.
