Who would ask such a question? It seems obvious to me.
What are the special reasons to avoid a mandatory driving ban, or the special reasons you can use to appeal against it?
Here's a question for you I've been charged for drink driving but I wasn't driving at the time I was arrested so how on earth can I be arrested and charged for something I haven't done I had been to the pub which I had walked to and left there to go to another pub while on my way there I was stopped by the police and told someone had reported me for drink driving but I was walking so as I said how can they arrest me for doing nothing wrong and what are the chances of the case being dropped and nothing comes of it
hi there, I ran through a solid amber light which turned red literally less than a second before it turned red, my dashcam shows that the lights turned red less than a second of me passing but nevertheless it was shown red light, albeit less than a second. im sick worried, please advise, i have the dashcam clip.
That comment does not say, you will, it says will you??
Likewise mixing our Kate after having failed to mix their's. =/
Im great at driving, just will not drive under the influence ('i suck at driving') how unfortunate for the court
You wouldn't get a speeding ticket from 5 m the limit like if you're 5 in yeah you can go 35 in a 30 zone but other than that you can't go any higher some people were going 96 mph in a 30 zone or some people were going 70 in a 30
Can you drink drive on private property?
False reading is common-
No point in drinking home alone. You want to be in a bar, with witnesses.
I worked with a nurse who crashed her car 3 times while drunk. Each time SHE would call the cops and wait, sitting in the passenger seat. When the cops arrived, she would tell them that a guy, she had picked up at the bar, was driving. She said he crashed the car and then ran off. In my state you can't get a DUI w/o driving or alternatively, sitting in the driver's seat while drunk. She got off the first three times, the fourth time the police told her that if it happened again she was going to be arrested, even if they had no proof she was driving and the case would be tossed. She ended up moving to a different city.
What do points on your driver's license mean?
You get points for traffic infractions. Usually, the worse the infraction, the more points you get. When you reach a certain amount of points the state will suspend your license (or revoke).
What if I crash and kill myself ?
What if both drivers are drunk?
@@juanvega7992 you flip a quarter and see who gets to buy the next round at Smitty's and leave the scene of the crime immediately. No blood, no foul. 😁🤘
They cancel each other out and the balance to the universe is maintained.
What if you crash only your car, let's say into some bridge rails.
Run, if the vehicle is still able to move at this point, hammer down and get the hell outta Dodge. 🤘😁
Go to the nearest bar and keep drinking until the cops show up. Tell them you were sober when the accident happened but you had a few drinks to get over the shock. No point in checking your alcohol level when you have witnesses ( barman and customers ) to corroborate your story
@@daneenmurf1043 hell, I remember used to be able to crash your rig, come back the next day and somebody would have already towed you out of wherever you were at (for free) no questions asked kinda thing. 🤘😎
Good luck with that. Police breathalyzer procedures prevent this possibility. And if you make it home before testing, then DUI is an option for police, based on observations.
Hello 👋
Just make sure when you go to court that you are unemployed and not receiving any benefits.
What kind of an idiot even asks this question? Don’t drink drive, and if you do, take your medicine.
Never reply immediately to their paperwork. Always send it at the last possible moment. They're so overworked and disorganised that they often don't get to deal with it in time and the clock runs out.
Courts also take a very dim view of repeat offenders.

Does a sign include road painted 20 roundels? Lots of roads here are 20 not many signs, but 20 painted on the road, easily missable.
Running red lights has become an epidemic on uk roads.
Will the driver get points aswell?
Do we need signs? Do we need speed traps/cameras? The answer to both questions is no. If people didn’t go over the speed limit, undertake/overtake at mad speeds, causing death and destruction, then we don’t need either.
I was travelling from London to Swindon on M4 I was 4 miles less then the speed limit but the camera flashed how do I prove that I was not driving fast or above the speed limit……also I have a doubt weather it was us or someone else who got flashed…..😢
Why don’t European countries measure blood alcohol level by percentage? It seems faster and more intuitive
If you ever drive past a speed camera with other motorists and it flashes twice this does not guarantee its you.. unfortunately you will have to bite your nails nervously checking your mail for the next 14 days 🫣
Can we get detained in the jail if I did drink and drive but didn’t cause any harm to others
I hired a car when I was in London back in February 2024. I got given a notice of intended prosecution yesterday morning 01/05/24. That was nearly 11 weeks ago now. Any advice on what I can do to get away with this.
You cannot. Just deal with it.
If you did not receive the NIP within 14 days (not including the day of the offence) then you have a strong case that the notice is now void and you cannot be prosecuted.
@@m.shearer5233 I think it is if the fine was not generated within 14 days ie sent out. The post could arrive 3 weeks later.
@@TheLondonCyclist Yeah true after 3 weeks your well in the clear. when I've picked up points it generally takes 10 days from day of offence.
You can easy contest the NIP if it's dated more than 14 days after the offence.
I was convicted of Drink Driving 37 years ago and have never committed any driving offence since. However since my conviction I have noticed things that don't make sense to me. For example, if you haven't been drinking or speeding, you are not using a mobile phone and you are wearing a seat belt you can do whatever you want really. You can even kill people and still keep your driving licence. Also when I was breath tested on a random stop and driving fine, being disqualified made me realise that the law considers risking an accident to be far more serious than actually having an accident. Lastly if you are disqualified for being a small amount over the legal limit your criminal record will be the same as a driver who has drank 15 pints and caused an accident. Something wrong with the law.
Great video well done very helpful. Really well presented and logical.
What happens if you plea for drunk in charge and haven't received points due to legal error. But received a conviction on you're DBS for drink driving instead of drunk in charge and still have full clean licence? Can they remove the weong conviction on The DBS?
Sir good evening, I'm a filipino new comer here in karratha I was been caught by the cops driving with .08 range of alcohol in a breath test. My licensed ban for 2 months. These March 11 I go to court. My question is there is a fine for it or what should I do.? Thank you so much sir for your time.
You must be working for met
Please help me out,dvla charged me to court without notice after they granted me an extended date of paying an out of court fine.i have called the dvla after I tried to pay before the due payment time but saw that I couldn’t pay so I called and I was told I have been charged to court even before the fine due date
Undertaking may not necessarily be careless, but under some circumstances definitely could be and might even be dangerous if you were undertaking at say much higher speed than reasonable and a collision resulted.
Please if I got 6 months banned on speeding,after the banned how will disqualification will wipe from Dvla
How about NOT drinking alcohol and then driving a car .... DOUBLE DARE you to go up to a 6-foot 5-inch 280-pound guy who is "Ripped" who has lost a relative to a drunk driver and say to his face........ "It is perfectly OK to drink and drive" ..No somehow I did not think you would... DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE..... The person in the other car might NOT want to be maimed or killed...Just saying! If you are going for a night out with friends please book a taxi to get home and leave your car at home... EDIT.... If you have had a lot of alcohol to drink on the night ... There is a good chance you will still be over the "Legal limit" the next day.
I have had 10 pints and am about to drive right now
I've juts finished my 10th pint and am getting behind the wherl
To avoid all of this, don't drink and drive
He forgot to mention it will cost you about £3500 and you’ll still get banned! The ONLY defence you have is that the offence didn’t happen eg . “ I’ve never driven a car in my life I couldn’t have been speeding “ other than that you’re fucked!
Do you have an email address please?
So if i please guilty can i still tell them the special reasons short distance etc ??
