Drunken Stobart driver reverses half a mile on M6 Toll

Again, it’s a trust issue. Much like the in-cab camera debate, the element of trust is truly dwindling. Yet some people still have the “if you’re doing nothing wrong, then you have nothing to fear” type of thinking, and it’s those who would bend-over and take things like mandatory breath tests and in-cab cameras. We’re “professionals”, treat us accordingly!

How does a company tell us professionals from the [zb]? I’m a professional driver and quite happy to prove it.

As I said before mate, just how far are you willing to go with that theory.
You miss the whole point, I also do not want to be associated and confused with dicks who can’t drive and all the rest of it, but by going along with this pr excercise and ego trip for some, does just that.
Driving drunk is a criminal offence, there is an organisation to deal with that sort of thing.
Maybe (at last) that will clarify MY opinion on this.

Depending what the limit is on said devices and there level of accuracy you can eat a few apples and blow over the limit.

Iv never overnighted in an english msa, but frequently do on the continent and see very high alcohol consumption at nighttime.

The police catch heavily drunk, usually of eastern origin, truck drivers near enough every day here in austria.

As for stobart, they are pretty much the perfect model for showing everything whats wrong with this industry.

Fish pie and a couple of small bottles of beer for me last night followed by a few minutes doing something naughty.

Reckon if approached for a breath test on site I would ask the person to blow in it first before I did. No harm in that.

NO!
You’re down to meet dipperdave on Tuesday morning where he will tell you to ‘blow into this’’
Make sure you check what it is first. :wink: :smiley:

Ohhhh missus. I shall have more beer tonight. And a wine binge on Saturday. I might have a few on Sunday too. Just to prepare myself you understand.
