'Drunk' mum caught dropping kids at school

[Genestho]

Thanks for bringing that up, the thing I find "funny" is:

"Mr Murton said the incident showed that compulsory breath testing should occur at all times of the day and night."

For what?

For the consequence to be to toss a danger to innocent road users (and own kids) back amongst us again, the level of bac and frequency shows shes a severe danger.
Sadly high levels of bac are not considered to be a problem in NZ.

Assessing a danger on the roads is not just the frequency but the levels!

Im having a go at educating the polis, to assist in their policy making decisions for action towards recidivist drink drivers for elections!!!!!

I'll be interested to see whether she'll fall into the 5% sent off for alcohol assessment, or the 95% that are not assessed at all.

Bad "luck" for anyone thats gets in her way in the mean time.

REALLY, really pissed off.

Got a drunk driver who crashed, had passed other drivers in dangeous spots before hand.

Got convicted of dangerous driving and EBA. (No previous)

But the judge really ripped into him, said the driving was some of the worst he had heard of.

Got a total of 200hrs community service and 2yrs disqually, fairly soft penalty I thought..

The tosser appealed, got a lawyer to act on his behalf.
Ended up on appeal with 120 hours c.s and 10 months disqually.

I wonder why I even bother........

Strange ay? I read stories and read good dressing down by judges and then the sentence doesnt reflect whats said! All drinkdriving offenses seem to be lumped together as low level offending..

I hear the section 65 review is in front of Annette King, they wont tell me the content as the content cant be published until a decision is made

And I hear Chester Burrows has made a general sweeping speech to nats mp's in regards to policies for drink driving (Bet ya thats lowering bac, the answer to all our problems..need a sarcasm smiley) and recidivism has been mentioned, theyve told me policy will be released "soon" nobody wants to release their hand yet....I'll keep prodding, inquest next month so they'll need to have an answer..

It doesn't make the politicians look good on the world stage so they don't really give a rats arse...

I also wonder why you bother... but I'm glad you do Scummy, really glad

People like you and Speedie work in some of the most unpleasant conditions doing some of the hardest jobs in society and receive little thanks, but you are appreciated. The sentences handed out by (some) moron judges on the other hand defy comprehension.

Top fine for first and second offence is $4,500 - but most of the time the fine is near to what they 'blow' - i.e. a reading of 675mgm = $650 fine.

Judges in NZ are weaker than a week old tea-bag.

If justice was true it would be them and their families that would be the victims of drunk drivers.

Hammer drink drivers, especaialy for the second and third etc offences...

I have a new position in NZP, my biggest regret is now I won't have the opportunity to 'ping' so many loser drunk drivers.

A comment I use to hear "Ah man, I've known you for years, I though you were my mate, how can you do this to me"

MY reply use to be "Don't be a loser, I never put a gun to your head and said 'drink eight big bottles of beer', I never put a gun to your head and said 'get into your car and driver'.

So many said "You're right eh, I shouldn't have done it eh!"

Yep its a stupid and selfish CHOICE

Thought it had sumfin to do with the fact that most plitisiuns would be guilty of "being under the influence while in charge of a country" half the time.....

Breathalising before any sort of vote...?

A mum of a student of mine used to come to school drunk all the time. After a few years of this, CYFS took action and the mum is off to rehab. She came to school a few weeks back with a huge black eye, smelling of booze. The mum told the daughter that the social worker is her new mum and that she is to call her mum from now on. Tragic stuff.

Beating arses isn't a bad thing is it???


Now fannies....

There are three kinds of ppl on this earth Dave ! Pussies dicks and arseholes !
(Great line from some comical movie)

Made the hell trek the other night ! Walked home from a mates place after we had consumed (hate to count) copious amounts of alcohol !
Took me a good two hours to walk home, (well it seemed like it with two steps forward and 1 back) Me and the dog, no leash so had to stay on top of controlling her as part of the walk was SH1 !
Was in absolute agony yesterday cause of it (backs rooted with ostio) Thinking back, it would have only taken a couple of calls to find a sober driver, but by then i was in she'll be right mode, it aint that far !
We so need a dial a driver set up here in hicksville !

Yea, god forbid an attempt at listening to issues that actually affect NZ'ers, and acting upon it.
However, its worth givin em a prod, it costs nothing and its a bloody good time of year to give it a crack nige.

Wasn't my licence or car as i had neither that night, but morally i wouldn't expect him to have to get me home ! I had 4 choices, let him run me home (bad choice) ring round (not into bothering ppl to help me out when it was my choice to go there) stay the night (screw that i like my own bed) or walk !
