my mates just posted this on another forum, what do you think could he do some time for it?

"Well, my little brother is a total arse. Saturday night he got really drunk, decided to jump in his car and go for a drive. He ended up smashing into somebody else (Nobody hurt btw thank god). So the police arrived, he scored 85 on the breath test.

Hes 17 so under age anyway, only been passed for 6 weeks, pissed up and involved a 3rd party. He already has a record for vandalism when he split up with his girlfriend and smashed a window. What a total dick. He could possibly see time for this!?"


stupid or what

Oops, what a cock, he'll be off the road for a LONG while for that I should imagine, not just due to the ban, but because when the ban ends and he has retaken his test, insurance will be a nightmare.

I dont see how he can do time though for it.

i think drink driving stays on your insurance for ten years,tell him that he is going to be spending some money in the future.

I think dd should be a life ban, speaking from experience as a injured party, the health problems 25 years later are not funny.

My mates son just got done, caught drink driving TWICE, was WAY over the limit and been passed about 6 months.

Only got a few hundred quid fine, 100 odd hours of community service and a ban.

No sympathy for people like that.

you need to do that half a dozen times to get jailed these days.. 2 year ban ,test resit + community service as my guess.

What is the point in banning him? He will just get in a car and carry on!
