It wont be just this weekend. Between now and New Years there is something happening just about every weekend (which sux when you have to work it!). You have been warned.

Fuck warning drink drivers about the blitz, nail the fuckers to the wall. Kind of like saying, 'hey all you drink drivers, stay off the roads this weekend or you'll get caught'.

Well, if all the plod are busy manning drink drive stopping thingies (which I don't really care about one way or the other), they can't be elsewhere.

And if they're being rostered in for weekend duties on the booze teams, they presumably will be given time off during the week (since the cops can't afford overtime pay).

So that means less plod running around trying to catch me. Which is good. So I'm all in favour of this. A cop stuck at a check point is a harmless cop. A cop prowling around loose is a dangerous cop.

GO THE MID WEEK RIDE! :) :2thumbsup

+1 .................

[Lou Girardin]

Well we didn't see any checkpoints around 12.00 Sat night, it seems they were all out around 3.00AM.
We just bought a Sobercheck breath tester and I blew 600, so it was dial a driver time anyway. But I felt a lot more pissed than that reading would indicate.
Isn't it getting really boring though, the Police are always disappointed in the number of positive tests. For God's sake, it was only 1.2% of the 9000 tested. Why don't they say how pleased they are with the 8892 people who weren't pissed.

Totally agreed...:yes:
Blingage for you.
Have to agree with you too Lou. but the more drunks they get off the roads the better for all.
Good on ya for buying one of those contraptions

.... because nobody has explained to them the power of positive reinforcement? .............. or because they get off on busting drunk-drivers and so wish to ensure a continuing supply? ............dunno :confused:

Uhhh, so your perfectly ok with over 100 people caught driving around drunk? :blink: Think the police should just look at that and think "hey, we've got our message across, lets give ourselves a pat on the back. Hell, lets give everybody a pat on the back."

Driving sober isnt something people deserve to be congratulated for. Its just what your supposed to do

You will never stop people being naughty.
Don't confuse being over the limit with being drunk, t'ain't always the case.

Well that was my fault - you know its been a good night when your guests are too pissed to driver and that little breath tester removes all doubt. Bloody hell I was still a bit wobbly the next morning

Yeah, you've gotta be double hard to go riding next day.
Pussy!:yeah:

[ManDownUnder]

DD's... (Drunken Drivers... not the bra size...)

Nail the fuckers. Confiscate the car and sell it.

Repeat offenders lose the car AND their licence for a year. Then it's time to resit - starting over as a learner

3 time offenders lose the car, lose the licence for life, and spend time behind bars

If there is an accident they get to skip a step above (i.e. go straight to 2, or from 1 straight to 3)

If they hurt or kill someone they skip 2 steps.

edit - oh yeah - none of this special "licencing" for jobs etc either. You done bad, you can't be trusted with a car - you need a new job or an alternate way of getting around.

You'd like to apply this to demerits suspensions too?

Ah I would only have held ya up, what with having to stop every couple of K's for a barf
