    Timely lesson

    Hi all,

    Festive season is upon us and most have broken up from work it appears.

    Today I had a five hour round trip in 40 deg heat to chair an AGM for a fishing organisation in my POS without aircon.

    Got back and had a couple of quick pots at the local, the work breakup boys gave me another couple, and I left (rather than kicking on as they were insisting).

    To cut a long story short I was pinged for .05 200 metres from my house and will be without a licence for 6 months.

    Sure I've had a crap couple of years and am stressed out (all the excuses in the world), but I really have no excuse before the law.

    Hoping this might do me some good somehow.

    cheers, DL

    200 mts is a bit of bad luck, but as you say they don't accept excuses.
    Gives you 6 mos to get the air con fixed

    Cheers

    6 months is a bit much for 4 pots.
    Did you forget to mention some drinks - or is it 6 months for >5 to 1.0 ??
    I thought it started with 3 months

    It was 4 or 5, but real quick. I just wanted to get home, it was a long day.

    Just shouldn't have done it, simple as that.

    cheers DL

    The roadside breath test is used to detect alcohol and if its reading is high enough its off for a ride down to the cop shop and onto the more accurate machine or a blood test should they desire.

    Rotten luck indeed but if your'e gonna get done than this is the time of the year it will happen.

    good on ya for posting up on the forum, not many would

    just yesterday i was at a contractors xmas party, i had 3 beers over two hours and was pretty sure i would not be over the limit..........i will never know as i was not pulled over and tested but in short its impossible to manage your BAC while drinking and expect to be under. my dad went DUI years ago and will not start a car even after just one sip of beer these days....would hate to think how many times i have hovered around 0.05 while managing a few drinks and driving home

    i worry more the day after a big session....when can you jump in the car.... i.e drinking to the early hours of the morning
