Reporting a drink driver?


skyline1

Recommended Posts

Once he's driven the car to work, it'll be warm, which is evidence of having driven it. If he's got the keys on his person, that's as good as.

 

My step sister was asleep in the passenger seat of her car because she'd had too much to drink, and because she had the keys on her, she got done for drink driving. Go figure.

 

If it's every friday, tip 'em off and I imagine there'll be a marker put on the car. Then any police car with ANPR will clock it, so wherever he is, if he's drunk behind the wheel he'll get caught.

No leeway on drink drivers for me. Had a mate killed by a drink driver. They got the guy, failed roadside, but passed at the cop shop as it was an hour away and he was just under. No justice. Got done for vehicular manslaughter. Fine, no jail time, kept his license. Should have been banged up for life I say.

Report him, get his license revoked, before he does the same and gets away with it.

Right what it is there is a guy i work with who is a $#@!! he comes to work most friday mornings still smashed (drunk) from the night before, he usually gets home about 4am friday morning and comes to work about 7:40am , obviously he is still steaming and over the limmit! my boss should send him home in my opinon but never does!

the thing that does me is that he is driving over the limmit, i wanna report him but dont wanna waste police time, would they have to catch him in the car...cant just ring them and tell them he has drove to work still drunk from the previous night can i? keep thinking i could ring them and tell them its a regular thing and see if they wanna wait on my works road and keep a eye out but are they actually bothered about this stuff? i think the guys licence would be taken off him if they caught him but i if he has a accident and kills someone id feel to blame as i knew he did it but didnt do anything about it.

 

whats your opinions?

 

now you see ............. your not wasting police time here, ive had to stop people leaving my camp in there cars, because i knew fine well they were smashed, and the thing is how would i feel if they were to get 300 metres down the road , come off the road , roll it , and kill everyone in the car, or even hit a mini bus of people and kill them

 

think what you need to do is approach said scroat and question him about how much he has had to drink then get your boss involved and let him know the facts then its up to him if he keeps it as "in house discipline" or decides to go outside and to the police

 

end of the day the law is there for everyone not just a select few

Are you sure it was drunk driving or drunk in charge of a motor vehicle, which unfortunately she was.

 

I hear that if you want to sleep it off in the car then you should put the keys in the boot of the car and lock yourself in the front, then you aren't in charge. Whether that is true I cannot say.

 

Obviously that's not an option in the Supra as there is no way to open the boot from within the car to get your keys back in the morning ;) :D

I've got a boot release next to my fuel cap release?

 

Not sure. Lots of points. £3600 lighter due to hefty fine and solicitor etc. she got to keep her licence because she needs it for work. She won't be doing it again lol

Next time he comes to work drunk, nip out to the nearest call box and make an anonymous 999 call saying you've just been knocked off your push bike by a car swerving all over the place and it looked like the driver was drunk. Tell them the reg number and that you saw him go into wherever you work.

 

Worth a try?

 

Please don't do that, it creates all sorts of problems. Just call in and give the reg, description of car and driver, the times he drinks, where and when. With all the info a car we be assigned and sit up to pick him up. I have been to a lot of crashes where drink drivers have stacked it, usually killing someone else and they walk away ok. Upsetting isn't the word.

thats a fair one gaz coz then the police will think this is a waste of time as they have no one to question and it could be anyone just trying to get one over a work mate ................... if you can call him a mate

 

Exactly, just be honest, the guy is odviously a selfish idiot. He will get what he deserves.

Don't feel bad for grassing hes a potential killer. I grassed my ex brother in law up for constantly drink driving in his van, he would get smashed and drive back from london to basildon every friday. He got banned and I felt so much better knowing he was of the road

I think as people have said, my personal opinion would be to go to the police station in person...tell them the situation and see what they say. Usually they will tell you what the best action to take would be or usually what they are planning to do about it.

 

As its a drink driver I dont think they will say it is a waste of police time.

Why wait til tomorrow? Being a bank holiday, he might be out on the lash and driving tonight. Post the details on here and we'll ALL report him! Lol

 

Well I've probably got to wait till Tuesday as I don't know his reg plate number for his car , I'm sure they will want that as well as a name . People like that don't deserve a licence.
