My mate got done for drink driving he was pulled over at 10am for driving through a bus lane and got breathalysed for good measure. His last drink was around 23.30 the night before, so you need to be careful about the morning after aswell.
It would appear that the Police don’t actually see much wrong in drink-driving.
A former traffic officer who preached to children about the dangers of drink driving was caught drink driving - after he pulled over to down a bottle of wine.
Graham Carroll, who had a 28-year policing career, was more than three times over the limit when he stopped in a layby on the way home from the pub.
A decorated Lincolnshire Police officer has “lost his reputation” and the job he “loved” after being convicted of driving while over the limit.
Craig Dunderdale, 41, who was a sergeant in the road traffic policing unit, was off-duty when he went out drinking with colleagues in Lincoln on December 17 last year.
A DRINK-DRIVING cop who tried to cheat justice by tampering with his urine sample was spared a jail sentence yesterday.
A sheriff told Sergeant Ewan McHardy it would cost too much to protect him in prison and let him off with a £6000 fine.
Sheriff Ian Abercrombie also noted that McHardy, a former traffic cop who used to nick drunk drivers, would lose much of his pension because of his crime.
Fosters■■? WTF■■?

HGV drivers should not drink any alcohol whilst driving their vehicles. I watched a programme on TV a few years ago when a MRS drivers was pulled in by the Police and he was found to be drinking a can of beer as he was driving, totally irresponsible.You mean this one youtube.com/watch?v=VcNduODA9R0

We are professionals and should act that way.

I prefer spirits to beer when I’m on duty as they take up less space which leaves more room for my bong.
You still using those dodgy MFI reject cupboards then?

You would think they would put a square cup holder in trucks to fit a jack Daniels bottle in

But only wimps drink JD. Real drivers drink proper Scotch Whisky, not that feeble American stuff.
I need, and have, round cup/bottle holders to fit my round bottles into, my triangular bottles fit too.

I saw that one as well
they sent a plain police tractor unit out on the road catching lorry drivers out
the guy was found to be talking on his mobile and given a warning by a honk of the horn and he still continued
then the real police pull him up and found him hiding something in the glove box a can of special brew
before they found the can they could smell alcohol coming out of his skin and said are you an alcoholic he said no
was taken to the nick, name, occupation ‘well I was a HGV driver’

Sometimes, just sometimes the mask slips and you come across as litterate and intelligent at the same time.
THIS MUST STOP IMMEDIATELY, 'cos you aint half as funny normal.

I remember seeing some where around 30% of police officers across the UK every year who resign or get sacked do so after been nicked for drink driving. I guess they do it thinking a flash of the warrant card will let them go. Just unlucky if they get the keen wanna be commissioner
I always make some frozen lollies from Jaegermeister, so I can dip them in my coffee an brandy as I trundle along in the middle lane at 47 and a half mph.
A lot safer than the cans of beer, a mate of my mates friend nearly broke a finger nail opening one of them and spilled it all over his Daily Sport as he was just about at the bottom of a slip road.
