    Driving home at 10.30pm last night (in pub from 8pm 1 drink and 4 Ballygowans)
    came across this 07 VW on the wrong side of the road in front of me.
    He pulled in onto the correct side of the road in front of me at a set of lights which he then broke.
    Drove along a long road on the wrong side of the road only pulling over when a car came towards him.
    Broke another light and again drove on the wrong side of another long road before pulling away from me and turned off.
    I have assumed it was a he and I'm assuming he was drunk, very drunk.
    In all the years I have been driving I have never seen anybody as bad as that.
    I rang the guards, gave them the reg and location and I just hope they caught him in the act.
    The fact it was very icy didn't make any difference to him.
    I would love to mention the full make and reg of the car but I guess it wouldn't be allowed, shame.

    Ah Ballygowan...made over hundreds of years out of date by March.

    Biggest rip off ever.

    Good that you were careful though with the one pint.

    1 pint is grand ffs, perfectly acceptable, the man went for a festive pint, kept it to one and had water when everyone else was knocking them back, thats being responsible.

    One drink would hardly impair your driving. Unless your 12.

    Did anyone else read the thread title and expect a lurid and exciting story, only to be greatly disappointed?

    As far as I'm concerned, if you can't drive home after 10 pints, while smoking a cigarette and talking on your mobile phone then you're not a real man

    Bonus masculinity points if you're also getting a BJ at the same time.

    Actually OP you are an idiot. One drink effects your driving FACT, no matter how much Ballygowan you claim to have drunk. Your as bad as the person your complaining about! A few years ago a 7 year old girl was killed on my sisters road by a guy who "only had one pint".

    It takes one hour to clear your first pint from your system. He had one pint over 2 and a half hours. Nothing wrong with this OP, unless your 12 or 4 foot!

    And maybe that poor girl would have been killed regardless of whether the guy had a pint or not.
