I must say that I haven't seen a check point in the last 6 to 9 months.
There are no cops policing the bus lanes or general traffic these days and guys are taking more chances speeding and bus lanes etc-
I presume it's the same with drinking driving - people will chance it if they think they can get away with it.
Of course if you live in the Dublin 1 hit zone you will meet a cop every day but that's life!! -

If you drink and drive you deserve to end up in a ditch. Only hope you don't bring someone along with you or hit someone else.

In my local the worst habitual drink drivers are gardai and teachers. Everyone else has had a massive income drop for the last few years.

Yeah i'd say theres a lot of people on the road and their drugged up to the eyeballs. They should be teaching in shcool how to be a responsible driver and not drink or drug drive. The amount of peoples lives that have been wrecked by somebody getting behind the wheel while drunk or drugged.
But some think it wont happen to them. -

Innocent until proven guilty is our constitutional right.
I just find the whole notion of having to prove my innocence at a check point wrong.
I'm stopped and assumed guilty until I prove my innocence. -

If I was in that position I might be tempted to risk it. -
03-06-16, 10:35ilovepussy123not suprised about that the law doesn't apply the guards lolQuote:

Check out the link below.
The guy was drink driving and hit the woman that he was on his way to a first date with. Crazy. Couldn't make it up.
I feel so bad for her.
