Readings can go up from the roadside. If you had a drink just before you left the pub and then drove and crashed say 20 mins later, the alcohol in your body is slowly being absorbed still. By the time you reach custody, your reading can go up quite an amount

what part of Don't Drink and Drive do these selfish drunk dangerous idiots not understand. they should not have a license, certainly, after a second offense they should lose the license forever.
Indeed, there is far too much of this mentality of "After you pass your test you can drive how you like". People with that mentality shouldn't be driving, as all that seems to happen is the tests get harder.
That is what the law should be. No drink or drugs, no driving if you have such restricted thought process, reaction times or physical ability to control a vehicle to a safe standard. That would get lots off the road. Driving Examiners need to be held responsible if they pass people that are unfit, or drivers passed commit multiple offences in two years after being passed. It might make them more responsible.
They do - there's footage of them passengering in HGVs so they're not easily spotted and can look down from the cab and spot people on them. They post quite a lot of their FB page.
On every street corner shops/pubs and all the supermarkets selling all that alcohol, it's so readily available and it's a disaster waiting to happen. But does the government or these corporations care, no, all they care about is profit....
Most folk know they're breaking the law. Once banned they will continue to drive. There's not enough cops on the road so they feel it's worth the risk.

I did the same thing 30 years ago and I am still haunted about what I could have made happen. Don't ever drink drive , it's not worth it . If you can afford to get drunk then you can afford a mini cab!!!
I was lucky, I was stopped on suspicion and found just over the limit without having caused any damage. It cost me a heavy fine and I was banned for 6 months, nothing more glad to say. But it taught me a lesson. I now never drink if I'm driving and never drive if I've been drinking.

I'm a HGV driver. My licence is my car, wife's car, house, everything. I don't touch a drop within 24 hours of a shift. It's simply too valuable to lose.
A long outstanding problem with the Law on Drink Driving is that there is a permissable level based around 2 pints of Beer, it was set in the 1960's in order to start the change towards stopping drink driving and has not changed since. The level is high enough to give a false sense to drivers that they can have a pint or two and still drive. It is long past the time to reduce that limit to near zero, to clearly signal that drinking alcohol and driving should never mix. (Zero would not actually be fair for various reasons due to the way the body works)
Agree this is the policy in Australia and elsewhere. There could also be more convenient access to public breathalyzers in pubs etc so people could check before leaving.

I've not spoken or had any interaction with my family for 15 years due to drink driving. I'd "only" had a glass and half of champagne at a party before I totally refused to drive my sister 12 miles home. Apparently that wasn't acceptable and I was told I "wasn't over the limit" and "perfectly fine" to drive. Who was right in this scenario, me or them?
You were probably under the limit on that amount but, as it's your licence, it's your decision. You could have asked them if, had you driven and been caught and banned possibly losing your job, would they agree to pay your mortgage or rent and any other bills?
@@Non-Stick_Pan I’m 100kg rugby player and I’d be over way before 5 pints. One pint might be fine but why have one, get on it and leave your keys at home or don’t drink at all. We get older but we don’t all grow up.
Your right 100%,ive been driving for 45 years and can without doubt say ive never had one alchoholic drink before driving.Anyone who drink drives deserves a jail term.
@@seamusoflatcap I agree, I probably would have been under the limit. However, I've always been of the opinion that it's an either/or situation IE: that don't drink - good to drive, drink - don't drive. As an aside, I passed my driving test at 18, but never touched alcohol until I was 25, so I've had my license longer than I've drank.
These clips are fully-formed anti drink drive campaigns. They should have airtime in commercial ad breaks on TV for wider exposure. I still think "Look at what you've done" should be shown in school.
I've been drunk in charge once. But it was on private land as part of a demonstration organised by the Police to show the effects of drinking on driving (it was also Durham Police, but about 50 years ago). Six of us had to drive a car round a course with various areas to reverse into. We were timed and then each was given a pint of lemonade with from zero to 5 shots of vodka in it. After 20 minutes, we repeated the course. I felt absolutely fine, but took over 30s longer to do the course and demolished one of the obstacles. That was with 4 single vodkas in me, so probably about on the legal limit.
To my shame I’ve been done 3 times ( many ,many years ago) I was a dangerous fool , nowadays I’ve a clean license for over 30 years, I hate drink drivers
Great footage. It shows that anybody is able to make an error of judgement that could cost lives. Zero tolerance would be a better option. Then there is zero ambiguity!
I've had 4 friends killed in 3 separate accidents caused by drunk drivers. Watching the above fills me with loathing for these selfish people. Oh, and in case you're wondering - my first buddy was killed before I could drive (40 years ago) and I have NEVER drank alcohol and driven a vehicle.
I got caught myself by Whickham cops I was well over they where very polite and fair one of them just said imagine waking up in the morning and telling a little kid you just killed their mum or dad because you had to drink and drive or worse telling a mum or dad you killed their kid ? that was 20 years ago never done it again and never will Be polite to them and if your drunk just admit it and take your medicine
Even 20 years ago people very much knew the dangers of drink driving, utterly stupid thing you did and you got lucky the police caught you before you killed someone. Fair play for turning it round though, many don't.
Anyone that’s selfish enough to get behind the wheel of a vehicle while over the limit deserves everything they get….and should be banned for life..!!!

I remember the days when drink and drug drive campaigns meant that you saw police doing random stop and checks and having a public appearance. I didn't see one police car or officer in my area over the entire Christmas period. But hey, they're here on TH-cam to prove that they do exist somewhere.
The woman who said "" If I die I die"" made me so angry. Yeah but what about the person or family you might kill by your drink driving. And the girl who said I am only 11 points over ,as if it's nothing. They way they act like it's no big deal is so annoying.Both my grandparents were killed by a drunk driver so I know what I am talking about. The limit should be 0% . Do not drink and drive simple.🙏
1:58 that woman has a horrible sense of entitlement! Also cry me a river with all those using the 'I'll lose my job' excuse. If it meant that much to you, you wouldn't drink and drive would you!
A work colleague of mine hit a road sign at a very high rate of speed. It ripped the roof of the car off and ripped him in half. His bottom half was in the car and his top half was on the road. It was found that he was DD after tests. He was 26
My Daughter got caught DD going to get cigarettes , shoud could have asked a cab company to deliver them , its not like she hasnt got money , I dont respect her anymore.
Excellent video. Drinking and driving is one of the most selfish acts that someone can commit. With respect some individuals in this video will be serial offenders and even when getting caught they still think they’ve done nothing wrong. Unbelievable.
Listen to all of the reasons and excuses that people try and use when pulled over. My job, my career, my kids…all of which didn’t matter when they were scooping wine and beer.

On every street corner shops/pubs and all the supermarkets selling all that alcohol, it's so readily available and it's a disaster waiting to happen. But does the government or these corporations care, no, all they care about is profit....
Just get a taxi. £20-30, or stay at home, or walk
Felt weird clicking 'like' on this, but it's an excellent video.
Put these on mainstream TV
you need to keep posting these
I've not spoken or had any interaction with my family for 15 years due to drink driving. I'd "only" had a glass and half of champagne at a party before I totally refused to drive my sister 12 miles home. Apparently that wasn't acceptable and I was told I "wasn't over the limit" and "perfectly fine" to drive. Who was right in this scenario, me or them?
You were probably under the limit on that amount but, as it's your licence, it's your decision. You could have asked them if, had you driven and been caught and banned possibly losing your job, would they agree to pay your mortgage or rent and any other bills?
i think you made the right decision. fuck them. (i don't mean literally, i mean in terms of ignoring their requests) they were harassing you.
@@Non-Stick_Pan I’m 100kg rugby player and I’d be over way before 5 pints. One pint might be fine but why have one, get on it and leave your keys at home or don’t drink at all.
We get older but we don’t all grow up.
Your right 100%,ive been driving for 45 years and can without doubt say ive never had one alchoholic drink before driving.Anyone who drink drives deserves a jail term.
@@seamusoflatcap I agree, I probably would have been under the limit. However, I've always been of the opinion that it's an either/or situation IE: that don't drink - good to drive, drink - don't drive. As an aside, I passed my driving test at 18, but never touched alcohol until I was 25, so I've had my license longer than I've drank.
I see it, I know it is all true, but I still struggle to believe my own eyes and ears when I watch this.
These clips are fully-formed anti drink drive campaigns. They should have airtime in commercial ad breaks on TV for wider exposure. I still think "Look at what you've done" should be shown in school.
There’s one word that keeps coming up that tells you all you need to know and it’s ‘I’ No thought for anyone or anything else just ‘I’
I've been drunk in charge once. But it was on private land as part of a demonstration organised by the Police to show the effects of drinking on driving (it was also Durham Police, but about 50 years ago). Six of us had to drive a car round a course with various areas to reverse into. We were timed and then each was given a pint of lemonade with from zero to 5 shots of vodka in it. After 20 minutes, we repeated the course. I felt absolutely fine, but took over 30s longer to do the course and demolished one of the obstacles. That was with 4 single vodkas in me, so probably about on the legal limit.
To my shame I’ve been done 3 times ( many ,many years ago) I was a dangerous fool , nowadays I’ve a clean license for over 30 years, I hate drink drivers
Thats a really really good video ...👍👍
Great footage. It shows that anybody is able to make an error of judgement that could cost lives.
Zero tolerance would be a better option. Then there is zero ambiguity!
Should have this looped on TVs in pubs
What makes no sense with people is they drive to PUBS and drive home” and you never see an officer testing the drivers as they leave. MAKES NO SENSE!
There are some selfish people on this planet
Excellent work by all👍🏻
‘Can I get my phone as I’ve got to pick my child up’, while you’re over the legal limit! Holy shit!
I've had 4 friends killed in 3 separate accidents caused by drunk drivers. Watching the above fills me with loathing for these selfish people. Oh, and in case you're wondering - my first buddy was killed before I could drive (40 years ago) and I have NEVER drank alcohol and driven a vehicle.
No need for it these days. We are all aware of what booze does to us so just no need.
I got caught myself by Whickham cops I was well over they where very polite and fair one of them just said imagine waking up in the morning and telling a little kid you just killed their mum or dad because you had to drink and drive or worse telling a mum or dad you killed their kid ? that was 20 years ago never done it again and never will Be polite to them and if your drunk just admit it and take your medicine
Even 20 years ago people very much knew the dangers of drink driving, utterly stupid thing you did and you got lucky the police caught you before you killed someone. Fair play for turning it round though, many don't.
@@bravo2966 Yep cant argue with that
Anyone that’s selfish enough to get behind the wheel of a vehicle while over the limit deserves everything they get….and should be banned for life..!!!
Promote the media team, bravo bravo well done. Putting this up as is, hot far further home than most messages that are put out. The film should be renamed Poor Me.. ~Trooper
Nice work, D C....
This should be put on during the ad break for coronation st
Unreal the number of them saying they’ve done nothing wrong!
I remember the days when drink and drug drive campaigns meant that you saw police doing random stop and checks and having a public appearance. I didn't see one police car or officer in my area over the entire Christmas period. But hey, they're here on TH-cam to prove that they do exist somewhere.
The woman who said "" If I die I die"" made me so angry. Yeah but what about the person or family you might kill by your drink driving. And the girl who said I am only 11 points over ,as if it's nothing. They way they act like it's no big deal is so annoying.Both my grandparents were killed by a drunk driver so I know what I am talking about. The limit should be 0% . Do not drink and drive simple.🙏
1:58 that woman has a horrible sense of entitlement!
Also cry me a river with all those using the 'I'll lose my job' excuse. If it meant that much to you, you wouldn't drink and drive would you!
A work colleague of mine hit a road sign at a very high rate of speed. It ripped the roof of the car off and ripped him in half. His bottom half was in the car and his top half was on the road. It was found that he was DD after tests. He was 26
My Daughter got caught DD going to get cigarettes , shoud could have asked a cab company to deliver them , its not like she hasnt got money , I dont respect her anymore.
Tbf, if i lived in Durham, i would probably drink every single day
Blimey - 99 would be 4.5 times over in Scotland - limit is 22 here
Excellent video. Drinking and driving is one of the most selfish acts that someone can commit. With respect some individuals in this video will be serial offenders and even when getting caught they still think they’ve done nothing wrong. Unbelievable.
Listen to all of the reasons and excuses that people try and use when pulled over. My job, my career, my kids…all of which didn’t matter when they were scooping wine and beer.
Very good
The scary part is the way some of these people don't believe they have done anything wrong, the message just isn't getting through
I would not show these people any sympathy, politeness or civility! They chose to drive and endanger lives.
Should all be in prison
