if its only a 3 minute drive then why didnt you walk!
then to come on here bragging about your escape, thinking you havent done anything wrong, even though you were over the limit and think you can handle it cos you are big and hard.
i hope they throw the book at you when you are caught next!
Damn dude you got me there, you even know I'm big and hard. I mean most people can see that I'm big, but hard too?
I didnt come here to brag about dirnk driving, I came to say that the police are not the monster its portrayed to be. I didnt say that I was drunk, I had two Becks at the end of the night and have been working on new cocktails before that so some drinking there as well. But I'm 90kg and 190cm (and thats not in the same area where I'm big and hard) and I had a meal from the restaurant at work and I work with alcohol every day and am pretty experienced so I know when I'm ok to drive, and otherwise would stop drinking way before that or indeed walk home. What I was saying is that there was this crazy combination of factors and if breathalised so soon after the two beers I might've tested over the 0.02 limit (since I've been to lazy to upgrade to a full licence for the last 3 years).
Drink driving is wrong in any form, and it is probably the worst driving offense possible much more serious than speeding (or not displaying a 'full set of clean authorised "P" plates of the correct size on front and rear positions clearly visible to all' for that matter) and it doesnt get neerly enough attention by the authorities. I'm a pretty experienced bartender and I am very carefull in folowing the RSA (NSW responsible service of alcohol regulation) with my customers and promoting cabs when they have been drinking.
But does your comment about everybody speeding inccluding yourself gives me the moral superiority to pretend youre a murderous maniac since my mom has been in an accident with a speeding driver twice and since they've got those matrix style anti speeding messages on the tv? And if you listen to the statistics comming out of the Speed coucil should I say that you speeding aint big aint clever and puts others at danger too?
I'm sorry about your mate (and seriously I go beyound just the meaningless "I'm sorry" expression it is really stupid and horrible and unfair when a life goes like that) but this doesnt mean that you're justified at exploding at me - the driver who killed him was drunk, I never go near my car when I am.
