Drink Driving

RosieJoe

Drove out to Tallaght on the Bike at lunch time, filtered up to the top of the queue at the lights. A golf in the left lane creeps up and shouts "How fast is that thing?" Look into the car and there is a women driving, pissed drunk with a can of bulmers in her lap!:eek:

Told her to keep up with me to find out, couldn't get away quick enough from her!

Gives new meaning to "Don't drink and drive, you mught spill your drink!"

was she hot?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

did you call the police?

aidan_walsh

I don't get it. Are you complaining about a drunk driver or bragging about challenging one to a drag race?

RosieJoe

Definitely not! Think of Lilo Lil from Bread (if you can remember that!) dragged through a bush backwards!

RosieJoe

Definitely complaining about the drink, not really bothered about out running cars on the bike.

Didn't get the reg plate so no real point in ringing the Gards

patrickc

people like her should be banned from our roads, you should have made it your business to get her reg and report her.

humanji

In fairness, you probably did nobody any favours by trying to get her to speed after you. What if there was an accident?

Regardless, the world is full of morons like her. The sad thing is, they'll never believe anything's wrong until they kill or nearly kill someone.

The proper response is to kick her wing mirror off and get behind a wall, shout "What are ya gonna do?! Call the cops?!!"

So you broke the speed limit cos she broke the drink limit. :eek: \i suppose if you told the cops the story of how she was so ugly you had to speed away they'd let you off. Unless it was a female gard.

I think the government should have a zero tolerance policy as it's always tempting to have one or two as you'll be under the limit and the start to get cocky thinking **** it I can have 5 or 6 and I'll be grand.

I don't know which is worse.

The fact that she was driving drunk, or the fact that you were speeding. You're just lucky either of ye didn't cause an accident otherwise this thread would've read, "so, I accidentally caused someone's death earlier ..."

RosieJoe

Quick update for you all.

Rang the Gardai in Tallaght earlier on and reported the golf. Unfortunately the Gard said that unless I rang within minutes of seeing this that there is not a lot they can do, especially as I did not get the reg plate. Said that they would have to catch her at the wheel to have any chance of a prosecution.

And as for speeding, limit there is 80 kph. Just because I accelerated off quicker than she did does not mean that I was speeding. Can safely say that I was not as I was turning right at the next set of lights!

They can't do that because then people with coughs and colds would be arrested if they'd happened to take any remedies/cough bottles recently

Don't those say on the label not to operate machinery though?

You should have laid your bike real carefully down in front of her car and rolled about on the ground in agony...

So you're advocating lying fraud and deception now Mr Wossack. You make me sick buddy. Give Pighead an ugly pissed chick driving a golf over a liar and a cheat anyday. cha-ching me bollox.

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

you made a mistake

davejones

You were driving through Tallaght you say,
that would explain it so.:)

Stupid Cow but maybe she's a better driver drunk than sober.

Pighead

Pighead did try to warn you dodgyme. Think its probably best if you hang out in the Nature and Birdwatching Forum for a few months until this whole sorry fiasco blows over. After Hours is a cruel mistress.

I like the kicking in the wing mirror suggestion
