Yeah, who cares if he has been stupid enough to get pissed and drive AT LEAST twice eh? Lets imagine he kills someone while being unfit to drive, never mind eh?
And lets not forget that in years gone by, having sex with young boys was considered acceptable. Would you say that was still fine as well?
To be fair, in your part of the world, it's not unusual to sink 8 pints of the black stuff before climbing into a beaten-up MkV Cortina for the drive home ;-)
I thought you`d given up after taking your pathetic, self-pitying bullshit to email. You`re still scum, and I truly, sincerely wish that Darwin would wave his magic wand and remove you from the gene pool - it`d certainly improve the quality for those left in. You can`t defend what you did, you can`t even try and use the excuse that it was a "mistake", as you repeated your drink driving at least once. You`ve been caught twice, so how many times did you drive while being incapable of safely controlling the vehicle?

Bwahahahahahahahaha...
You *really* think you were in full control of the car whilst twice the drink-drive limit?
Why were you tugged by plod in the first place? What about your perfectly safe and controlled driving gave them sufficient cause to stop *you* (out of all the cars on the road) and breathalyse you?
Or was it an ANPR tug and the fact your car was uninsured raised the flag?
Hmm. Let me try to get the accepted usenet wisdom...
1) The OP drove with a blood alcohol level which exceeded at arbitrary limit. There is no evidence that his driving was inappropriate for the conditions, he wasn't in an accident, and nobody was hurt. He is scum.
2) Many motorists drive at a speed which exceeds an arbitrary limit. There is no evidence that their driving is inappropriate for the conditions, they don't have accidents, and nobody gets hurt. Richard Brunstrom is scum.
Ian ( snipped-for-privacy@btinternet.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :
Twice the limit, the following morning. He'd previously been banned for drink-driving, had no insurance, and tried to bullshit the breath test. He maintains that his driving was impeccable, but refuses to state why - if that was the case - he was stopped by plod in the first place.
Oh, and he's trying to get the legal-minimum ban which he was given reduced by a year, because he thinks he's "served his punishment".
*ding*
One word - "Impaired judgement".
There _may_ be a reason why insurers rarely load premiums for speeding tickets, yet *hammer* the premium for those with convictions for drink- driving. Especially multiple convictions for drink-driving.
My point stands: exceeding a numberonnabreathalyser is no more an indication of danger than exceeding a numberonnastick is. Now, I think people who drive while intoxicated are scum and should never be allowed to drive again (seriously), but I think we need a bit of consistency here. If an arbitrary limit - rather than demonstrable effects - is bad for speeding, why is it acceptable for drink-driving?
