Took the keys off a drunk person today

[Ean Austral]

Gday All,


We were unloading a boat today and 2 of the crew were way past over the limit, they didn't need any more alcohol for the next month, but sure enough when they ran out they wanted to go get more to drink. This is 1pm this arvo mind you.


Anyway as they got off the boat I said I hope you are not going to drive, they said yes, so both my wife and me asked for the keys saying they were to drunk to drive. Lucky the person who had the keys passed them over, I was expecting a fight to be honest, but in the past I have been to the morgue to identify dead crew from alcohol related vehicle accidents, and where as I didn't give a stuff about the drunks, I didn't want to see some poor husband/wife and kids suffer the loss of a loved one because these idiots got behind the wheel.


I would do it again tomorrow if I had to and was prepared to deal with the consequences if they arose to stop these idiots drink driving.


Cheers Ean

Good stuff, Ean.

Had they not handed over the keys, I would have no qualms about ringing the police.

Don't worry Ron, I had the rego and the number ready to go. I have no problems ringing the police in that situation.

It's like RBT sites, I'll never warn oncoming drivers of RBT sites. Radar sites? Yes, I'll get on the CB and warn drivers but not for RBT.

Good on you Ean, my darling mother was run over and kill by one drunk low life bastards driving on the wrong light and I do not have time for them
If they want a fight have a shovel ready to hit them behind the ear.

Speeding is just as deadly as drink driving.

I learnt long ago Smith & Wesson beats four aces everytime. So be it shovel, 4x2 , whatever it usually works.


Funnily enough people that drunk have usually not caused me to many issues.

Yes, it can be but not for slightly over. Ask the Victorians what they think.
