Totally against drink driving. My best mate was killed by a drunk driver.
I hope you werent refering to me as I didnt have a drop of alcohol in my system when I was pulled.
I was just bre telling something that happend to me.
The thing was I was stopeed because I had a bad car compared to the rest who were just waved through
The point I was making was I was totally 100% sober when I was pulled yet I did see other drivers pyshically being nervous behind the wheel as I was stopped yet they were waved through
For starters when a senior FF member can drive down the wrong way on a dual carraigeway ,langers drunk and f'all done to him and he even becomes an FF hero for speaking abiut it and saying it was wrong,sends out a very bad message.
Also those ads on tv have turned in into a bigger joke.They are so fake looking.They need real accidents,real ppl involved in them to speak on these ads not actors or staged events.They need pics etc.

PS that FF backbencher should resign.
there is no excuse for drinking and driving none.Sorry but a drunk old idiot is the same as a drunk young idiot behind the wheel of a car.Ppl living in the country can takes turns to drive and not drink on eack night.They can also have a mini bus or something frop a griup of them home together and it wouldnt cost much regardless of what Gay Byrne said.
much less than the cost of a life,

there is no way that a zero tollerance attitude can be taken to alcohol consumption whilst driving a car. The human body has far too many ways of taking in microscopic amounts of alcohol from the food we eat, the aftershave and so forth. Therefore in the eyes of the law, although a presence of alcohol is detected it is without doubt no fault of the person driving the car, nor can it be proven beyond reasonable doubt that it will effect the performance of said driver in his or her ability. Therefore it must be taken into account that there will always be a tollerance for alcohol presence in the bloodstream.
So with that in mind, how about the fucking government get off their arses and give us a 24hr, multi pointed public transport system?
Too easy for you FF? I thought so!
