I'm just learning to drive at the moment and have promised myself to never EVER drink and drive. I will be buying a Breathalyzer when I get my restricted. Even though I wouldn't drink more than 1 drink in an evening if i know I'm driving, (or maybe no drink at all.)

Unless things have improved drastically I'd say save your money. Those $199 breath testers are horribly inaccurate. They also come with a sticker saying if you get busted by the cops, they aren't responsible if the device has told you you're OK to drive but you're way over. My mate had one and it would give wildly different readings doing multiple tests at the same time. I do reckon the safest option is to have only one, or no alcohol if you're driving/riding

Been seeing plenty of bikes out this summer, and noticing how many are outside certain main road and country pubs... It aint just for 1 drink half the time I bet. Know this is a bit of a biker thing to do, have been partial myself back a few years....

Am wondering how many reckon its ok, and on the other hand what consequences have been seen or happened to you.

Kiwi's and booze are a fucked up mix at times, bet there's been more than a few "offs" cos of it.

i never drink and ride,thats all

lime and lemonade please

Oh we've all been a little silly when younger....but hopefully some of us learn a bit about self-preservation.....

(Flash-back to a mixture of a few beers, jandals, T-shirt, shorts, a near new CB750, a 30mph area in town and red-lining the CB through the gears.....)

Hmmm, probably guilty on that count, back in the days when $10 = 4 x $2.50 jugs at happy hour time and then riding the TC100 home through the streets of christchurch.....

No; it goes something like "drunk in charge of a vehicle" and a pushbike is a vehicle, just like a skateboard.

There is nothing illegal about riding a push bike while intoxicated unless the cyclist is so drunk that they can't even stand up properly.

bullshit, you can get fined 50bung for riding drunk, or is that just a plamy bylaw? As its a different amount from the car fine it must come under a different law somewhere

I'm pretty sure you can.

Careless riding of a bicycle.
