MADD chapter president got busted for DUI lmao: http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/madd-chapter-president-charged-with-impaired-driving-resigns-1.2503162
And WOMEN don't forget!If you want to kill yourself why not just take a gun and blow your head off?
The idea of grown men taking to the road driving after a night of drinking is so asinine. Why don't people grow up and take a bit of responsibility?
It is the simplest form of accident avoidance ever.... call a cab, or a friend, or walk.
It isn't rocket science. If you don't care about your own well being at least think about the innocent people whose lives can be ruined simply by you having an extra drink before getting behind the wheel.
One drink per hour is a bad idea. Even if you burn off the alcohol it will make you drowsy in the process and you can never be sure how long it will really take to burn it off. If you plan on doing some drinking plan on not driving.Worst advise anyone could take is this.
The whole one drink and you are fine to drive or one drink per hour and you are fine to drive is 100% wrong. The alcohol needs to burn off and only time will burn that off. The average male will burn off one standard drink every two hours. So to say you can have one drink and be social and you can drive safely is 100% wrong.
I remember reading a study a few years back that stated cops estimated 60-70% of drivers who drink and get behind the wheel never get stopped. And the majority of you hollier than thou guys who claim you have never drank and drive are simply lying because having one drink and getting behind the wheel is drinking and driving.
I can't begin to think how many of you take a bottle of wine when having appointments with SP's, have a glass or two prior to getting behind the wheel of your cars? So stop this hollier than thou acts.
We don't know if he made a mistake or is it the first time he got caught, we also don't know how he got caught, if we was badly drunk and swerving maybe that's how the cop stopped him. To the OP ,Make sure that if you have a problem get help, go see someone or go to AA or something, next time you can really hurt someone.I agree - way too many judgemental douchebags here. I don't have any sympathy for habitual drunk drivers (the ones who are responsible for the majority of drunk driving deaths) but have some compassion for people who make mistakes..
I got a story for you, friend was drinking and driving, hit a guy and killed him. Guy left behind a child and now my friend is fucked up for life.
If you do something so stupid you deserve whatever is coming your way. Consider this a very expensive life lesson and hopefully you learn from it.
Which means the device was not working properly or perhaps not calibrated. These examples simply do not inspire much confidence in the competence or ability of the police to do their job properly. There are plenty of people who are probably impared at less than .08 and may be some who are not. The point is they should be testing for impairment not blood alcohol. They would also pick up people impared from prescription or recreational drugs as well. It should all be on camera so the judge or jury can determine the merits. Back at the station they should have a driving simulator to test response times, etc. All on camera as well.I had one drink and got behind the wheel an hour later, and the cop showed me the reading was 0.00 (frankly, I didn't believe it myself and thought that she was testing me if I'd refuse). Not something I'd like to test again and would rather play safe.
Are you seriously comparing that to killing someone????just had to be the umpteenth person explain the consequences of impaired driving eh???
p.s,
I got a story for, guy I know who was married with two kids, was seeing SP's on the side. Wife caught him, got a divorce, ruined his ex-wifes life, and his kids as they're all from a broken home now. The worst part is, he also got charged for under bill c-36, as this an illegal activity to par-take in.
hopefully all the married guys with kids on this board learn from this.
No I'm not, I'm illustrating the satire of a bunch of dudes engaging in illegal activity that also have consequences on people lives, keep beating a dead horse.Are you seriously comparing that to killing someone????
There's no comparison. If you fuck up you marriage it's not the end of the world. Everyone will move on. You will still see your kids. If you kill somebody, for them, it is the end of the world. They won't see their kids. Even worse if you kill their kids.
Really, stop trying to diminish just how bad DUI is.
Don't try to reason with Fuji he is a troll looking for arguments. Let's not forget he claims he has never driven while under the influence, but he is the same person that earlier said it is ok to have one drink and then get behind the wheel and now after I pointed out that alcohol needs to burn off in your system and only time can do that he says have a drink and wait an hour or two to drive. Some people just don't understand and they have to make themselves feel good by criticizing what others do while they do the exact same thing themselves.No I'm not, I'm illustrating the satire of a bunch of dudes engaging in illegal activity that also have consequences on people lives, keep beating a dead horse.
And for the record, I have a friend that slit her wrist when she found out her then boyfriend was cheating on her. So don't tell me everyone "will move on".

Why anyone would voluntarily tell police they have been drinking is beyond me. In this environment you are inviting criminal charges whether you deserve them or not.
You don't have to lie to them, you can be polite but you are also under no obligation to answer their questions. We still have a right to remain silent, unless I am mistaken.

I don't mean to defend Fuji, but he didn't say you should get behind the wheel immediately after one social drink or wine glass with your meal.Don't try to reason with Fuji he is a troll looking for arguments. Let's not forget he claims he has never driven while under the influence, but he is the same person that earlier said it is ok to have one drink and then get behind the wheel and now after I pointed out that alcohol needs to burn off in your system and only time can do that he says have a drink and wait an hour or two to drive. Some people just don't understand and they have to make themselves feel good by criticizing what others do while they do the exact same thing themselves.
I am with you on this there are just too many hollier than thou people on here criticizing one another.

Again, comparing two consenting adults having sex to operating a vehicle while drunk is BULLSHIT.No I'm not, I'm illustrating the satire of a bunch of dudes engaging in illegal activity that also have consequences on people lives, keep beating a dead horse.

Absolutely. I have never driven under the influence. You obviously have which makes you dirt.Don't try to reason with Fuji he is a troll looking for arguments.

DUI from drugs is just as reprehensible, we just aren't yet as good at catching people who do it.Very good points.
A recent report stated that DUI from drugs is up 150 %.
And that is what has been caught, with no were near the effort to catch alcohol related DUI.
Its just common sense that the culture that has to get high, by what ever means, is going to.
FAST
That is a very self serving interpretation. The idea behind C36 is that prostitution is victimization. And if you look at the worst things that happen in the sex trade, IMHO they are WAY WORSE then DUI. If C36 would prevent those things then I would say perhaps it is worth it, but it makes them worse so I am against it.Again, comparing two consenting adults having sex to operating a vehicle while drunk is BULLSHIT.
I would have much more confidence in his ability to drive with a few drinks then someone with your mental capacity driving stone cold sober.Absolutely. I have never driven under the influence. You obviously have which makes you dirt.
Do you agree with that idea?The idea behind C36 is that prostitution is victimization.
