    It’s week three of our drink and drug drive campaign, and we’re releasing further bodycam footage of drivers found behind the wheel and under the influence of alcohol.
    Overturned vehicles, children in the back seat, collisions narrowly avoiding pedestrians, and… “I feel alright though.”
    Whether it’s one pint, two pints or more, here’s what happens when it all goes wrong.
    Start listening, life is precious.

      If you can hold your drink, 14 points is not a lot.
      If you CANNOT hold your drink, 14 points over is A LOT.
      From personal experience, driving when tired for a few miles (just to get to somewhere you can rest) is bad enough.
      Driving whilst over the limit must be worse.

      Readings can go up from the roadside. If you had a drink just before you left the pub and then drove and crashed say 20 mins later, the alcohol in your body is slowly being absorbed still. By the time you reach custody, your reading can go up quite an amount

      The values don't necessarily fall in that time. Depending on when he stopped drinking and if and when he had a meal they can actually also climb. The differences though are hardly big enough to effect a case.

      That is what the law should be. No drink or drugs, no driving if you have such restricted thought process, reaction times or physical ability to control a vehicle to a safe standard.
      That would get lots off the road.

    A long outstanding problem with the Law on Drink Driving is that there is a permissable level based around 2 pints of Beer, it was set in the 1960's in order to start the change towards stopping drink driving and has not changed since. The level is high enough to give a false sense to drivers that they can have a pint or two and still drive.
    It is long past the time to reduce that limit to near zero, to clearly signal that drinking alcohol and driving should never mix. (Zero would not actually be fair for various reasons due to the way the body works)

      sorry you just said "think they can have a pint or two" HUGE difference between 1 pint and 2 pints, let's be honest. If you have a pint and stay for a while and you've eaten then I can't see why you'd be over the limit but 2 pints is much more of a gamble and not worth it

      @@5uper5kill3rz There are differences nor only between one pint and two , but also between 'pints' of beer. Let alone Wines, Spirits and even desserts made with an alcoholic content. Your point about the 'gamble' between on or two pints misses the dilema of may drivers in that there is no simple 'limit' for them to act upon. Add in the differences on Sex, build, health and food taken and accurate prediction is impossible.
      I have taken drivers to court in the past who have stuck to 'only a pint , but had ignored a welcoming sherry, ' but have crashed cars and when tested were over the limit.
      When self testing as part of the calibration exercise of a Intoximeter machine one day I returned a reading of 1 even though I had not had an alcoholic drink for over a week, It turned out that the Trifle my wife had served with my evening meal before work had contained a dash of sherry !
      It is why I fully support a very low limit , less than 5, rather than zero, to cover the ocassional mistaken and unintentional intake of alcohol from food.

    I've been drunk in charge once. But it was on private land as part of a demonstration organised by the Police to show the effects of drinking on driving (it was also Durham Police, but about 50 years ago). Six of us had to drive a car round a course with various areas to reverse into. We were timed and then each was given a pint of lemonade with from zero to 5 shots of vodka in it. After 20 minutes, we repeated the course. I felt absolutely fine, but took over 30s longer to do the course and demolished one of the obstacles. That was with 4 single vodkas in me, so probably about on the legal limit.

      Here in Durham UK ... The penalty normally depends on how much you were over the legal limit ...The penalty gets more harsh the more you are over the legal limit. Between 80mcg/100ml and 112mcg/100ml - A recommended Band A fine of up to £2,500; a minimum three-year license endorsement. This means you can no longer drive a car on ANY public highway, Added to the mix when you get your driver's license back the insurance premium will quadruple in price.. So if you paid £400 GBP for a year's motor insurance before you got caught doing a DUI ... You can expect to pay £1600 GBP for a year's car insurance when you get your license back in 3 Years.
      The penalty for drinking alcohol and driving a car on a public road is harsh.... So it should be.

      True that. I moved to Scotland 10 years ago and the limit here is so low that it isn't even worth having a shandy. To be honest, it isn't even tempting because it's so cut and dry. In England over Christmas, I had half a shandy (hopefully that was the lemonade part) with dinner before driving a short distance home. It was fine and I'm sure I'd have blown under, but I wouldn't have done it in Scotland. The limit in England - and everywhere else - should be in line with Scotland's to reduce temptation. I would say absolute 0, but then everyone who drinks has driven the next day and had that element of doubt at first. Illegal drugs on the other hand should be an automatic ban.
