Phone issues ROG. Edited post . Cheers
To answer the op’s Question no I wouldn’t ever think about doing it but I’d say the driver has a few issues that need sorting. I might on occasions have a bottle of beer or a small glass of wine with my food at tea time but that’s generally 10 hrs before I go to work.
9 hours off = 1 small bottle of weak French beer to wash the day away.
11 hours off = 2-3 bottles of weak French beer, bit tiddly by then due to a low tolerance for beer.
45 hours off = At least 1 bottle of vodka. High tolerance for vodka.
Some days I just have a cup of tea and a tug. Well most days tbf.

I call health and safety alert on the last one, clearly a spill risk. I think you should consider a high viz glove on one hand so you don’t spill when you hit the vinegars…
Good tip, I tend to put me tea down when me toes start to curl.
Aka that Jesters Shoes moment.

Mixed feelings on that one mate, I understand your motive potential deaths, danger to himself and everyone else and all the rest of it.
If it had been me and only if I felt the NEED to report him for his own good, I would have gone about it in a different way.
Like you I would firstly have told him to knock it on the head, but I would also have warned him man to man that I intended to report him if he did not sort himself, otherwise it is just grassing somebody up which I personally hate, and especially when you say he is (or maybe now was) your mate.
Maybe that is what you did, who knows, I don’t know you mate so I aint judging you.
I agree he should not have been drinking but it was reported by a member of the public while the lorry was travelling south on the A1,unless the cans were on the dashboard how the heck would the member of public spot the cans

Another truck?
“Sgt Cording said the contents of the tanker were not hazardous, but “with a drink driver behind the wheel I would say at 18 tonnes it is hazardous”.”
Does that mean that if the contents of the tanker were hazardous, the consequences and punishment should be worse? 
There are no negative ramifications from drink-driving, so long as you are in the right job in the first place. 
Don’t worry lads, its not just us. I gave up after two Google pages.

^^^^ Shocking, all of them.
What I find even more shocking is that some coppers have actually had the balls to arrest another copper, I always thought the police were as thick as thieves themselves. I imagine a copper arresting another has the potential to be career-changing depending on the rank of the copper he’s nickin’…
Good on them for once. God did I just say that…

Trust me, good officers do report and sometimes arrest corrupt or wrongly employed officers, but some slip through the net as it was cut by higher up corrupt officers…
