No question shop them. - call 999 and advise the car thats being driven and location. I lost a close friend in an accident caused by a drink driver. It is selfish and a waste of life.

I think that I would and should phone 999 and report it, but realistically I would probably make an assessment in my own mind as to whether or thought they had just had a drink to be over the limit but seemed ok to drive or were totally p....d. I know that is the wrong approach but I think that is what I would do but couldnt say until the situation arose.
 


I'll be honest, I've seen it many times and not done anything.

The most I have done is tell a little white lie about just having seen the rozzers drive past the pub slowly checking what cars are in the car park, which is something they do.

In Sussex text 65999 with info to shop them. Hopefully the police will get them before they kill someone (the best man at my wedding lost his mum to a drunk driver).

Absolutely. No point in showing any 'loyalty' to a drink driver.

Having been stupid enough to do this when I was a drinker I would probably leave it to prividence whether or not they got caught.

I know it's wrong, they wreck other people's lives blah blah but I am honest enough to admit that there but for the grace go I.

I find it to hard to tell, many times I've overtaken a car swerving between lanes. Only to see them on their phone! Which I think is just as bad!

I phoned the police, when I saw the person get in the car that had kids in the back I had no choice

Report every time.

The only time I 'drink and drive' is when I meet up with some mates once a month. I have a pint of lager shandy and then just orange juices with lemonade.
I know I am under the limit and safe. I have a dodgy right knee which means I have difficulty getting in to my car so generally slump in to the seat outside the pub.

If someone thought I was drinking anything stronger and thought I was over the limit, I have no problem with them reporting me.

Anyone caught over the limit only has themselves to blame.

The Police have been carrying out road side checks on the 272 Beechurst Haywards Heath. Remember you can still be done the morning after for drink driving. Be good get a Taxi don't risk it.:drink::sick:punish::cry:

What's that got to do with it? You'd let someone risk someone else's life, just because you used to drink?

We had a bloke swerving all over the road in front of us driving through Lewes last year, I called the OB while the mrs drove, and the police picked him up just before the kingston roundabout. We pulled over (to rubberneck, as you do), bloke near on fell out of the car when they asked him to get out.
