UK - New 80MPH speed limit

8hours lol
even working on the best guestimates of a pint an hour you stood no chance after a few days of drinking

or the worse of 1 unit per hour

nah not on hear to lecture you about drink driving, but
i don't even drink the night before i have to drive the next day. generally its at least 14 hours before i drive after a drink and thats only if the maths adds up
bed time as well for me got to do maths in the morning
 
Says above, pulled for mud all over my car. Didn't make the same mistake a few months back at a different festival, car covered in mud. didn't drink a drop on the last day of the festival.
 
Like your maths don't you. I drive home every Sunday after a shedfull on a Saturday night. I just make sure there are on police behind me when I pull off then drive home above the speed limit so no police should catch me up :)

I don't drink drive for a start. I was still over the limit. I hadn't drunk for about 8 hours. Obviously not enough which I prob knew deep down but it wasn't like I was pissed. ****** police spotting cars coming from the festival, bit of mud on the car, pulled.

You where over the drink drive limit, there for you DO drink drive. Makes it worse that you've said you knew deep down!

Hell, fact that you've said you still do it! Hopefully it wont be long until your caught again. Be a bigger fine and ban next time ;).

Just have to hope that its only yourself that you injure if you crash.
 
All these people trying to teach this person that if you claim that having driven for all of 6 or 7 years that you have reached a plateau and are not likely to learn any more, and that person finally reveals that he has already been banned for drink driving.
I am annoyed at myself for getting involved in even reading this!
He clearly still has a deeply flawed attitude to driving (and probably not just driving, but that's just a hunch). It is a pity that the ban wasn't longer - like until he has grown up.

Problem with the internet is that any joker can come on and argue with a whole forum full of people.

Tbh he demonstrates exactly why the limit needs to stay where it is. People who drive slowly are not going to drive any faster and all that will happen is the people who already drive too quickly and get all road ragey when someone who isn't doing a zillion miles an hour goes in their lane will just be going 10mph faster.
 
I feel worse at seven in the morning still half asleep driving to work than I did when I got banned. And I bet my reactions are slower too.

Newcastle here we come, see what arseholes there are on the motorway today. I'll be the one getting out of your danger by overtaking you. at seventy or above if needs be.

Very deeply flawed attitude. Definately needed to be longer!

Well it looks like there is already one on the motorway :)

Definately.(y)

Personally the only was I'd want to be sat in your car is if you wasn't in it and I had the key in my hand.

Out of curiosity I've caught up with this thread. Some of the content could actually be quite funny if it wasn't for the fact that the driving style & logic of some were just plain dangerous & full of flawed information to say the least.

I will go as far to say that most who drive will at one point or another come across a slower driver for instance & you just have to bide your time if you want to pass. This can lead to frustration ...Learning patience plays a big part in driving skills nowadays. An obvious point of view, but so lacking nowadays, & made very clear in this thread.
 
Ah yes, patience. The key to driving. People almost ramming learner drivers out the way, overtaking in resedential single lane roads, disgusting.

I was overtaken by a young Asian lad and 3 of his mates in obviously his dad's massive Merc on a 30mph road...ON A BEND.

For a second I had hoped there would be a car coming round but then realised that would have almost certainley meant their death as he must have been hairing along at about 50-60mph.

Scum.

That's terrible:eek:

It's beyond belief that the Police would be stopping cars coming from a festival, it's not as though people drink or use drugs at festivals is it?

The limit for breath alcohol is 35mg, anything below 39mg is not prosecuted. A (fairly rough) guideline is that you will come down at 5-10mg per hour therefore your alcohol level, when you stopped drinking would have been around 120mg which is p***ed by anyone's standards.

Having said that every drink driver I've come across has only ever had two pints regardless of what their breath sample may indicate to the contrary
