Dilemma- would you shop a guy who drinks and drives?

Absolutely yes, unless he's skill at it.

Any more opinions?

I think you are after the reward ,and asking on here for support so you don't feel guilty when you get the money .
is that it ?

No, not personally,unless they were drunk

This is because a good driver can be over the limit and sober , and be perfectly able to drive well .

On the other hand ,there are a lot of terrrrible sober drivers out there who shouldnt be on the road

another little known fact is you can be drunk and under the limit

I'd get him to drop me home first

Going by science: His five pints could easily be your two pints if he's drinking that regularly, so judging his judgement could be unfair on him.

Going by the law: he deserves locked up.

If you do decide to shop him, at least let him know first. If he stops, good. If not, then shop him.

Thanks dk. Good advice

He certainly isn't sober. He slurs his words and is swaying by the end of the night.

let him know 1st??

not good advice imo.

Definitely not.

just a thought, are you & the barperson has guilty has the drinker under the enterprise laws?..

Punishments for crimes imo. I'm definitely against what he's doing, but why take up already precious police time to punish someone who hasn't cost a life, or disadvantaged one through injury.

Yes he's a tw@t, but let it go if it can be gone for good.

Shop him. It's not like it's hard to NOT drink and drive is it.

Didn't word my crimes bit right there. You get my gist though.

So is it ok to use police time after he kills someone dk ?

On second thoughts if he is getting drunk 4-5 nights per weeks and driving home, he isn't going to stop just because I give him a warning. Will probably just shop him. I know what car he drives and where he parks.

Grass

cant you put glue in his locks ..that will teach him

Have a word with him next time he's about to try it. Say that a mate/family member was killed/crippled by a drunk driver, and that you couldn't live with yourself if you allowed it to happen to someone else. Order him a cab (and pay for it) and tell him that next time he tries to drink-drive you'll call the cops to pick him up.

yes i would without hesitation.Some guy in my local pub came back in after closing time warning all the drink drivers about the police sitting up the road.i was not happy

Just f uckin shop him.

You'd feel great after he's smashed into a car comin other way.

ffs shop him.

Personally I would leave well alone but I don't have a conscience.

Definitely not, Seasider.

But we're not there yet, and if it's 100% that he can't cause a death because he stops his habit, then leave it there. I realise that people who drink like Thommo's mate can't give up with a click of the fingers, and he probably does need shopped because he won't shop. :)

*stop. :^0

Thanks guys. have made up my mind. Will defo shop him.

soften him up a bit by letting down his tyres

=================
By shopping him you may be helping to take away his livelihood if he needs his car to work and provide for his family. The best thing would be to have a word a with him first and let him know there are people who are thinking of shopping him if he doesnt stop.Any idiot can go behind people's backs and shop them-we all do something wrong at one point or the other- so consider the pros and cons before rushing to adecision.

Don't be f uckin daft.

Pros and cons?

Like him fitting shops out against someone in a wheelchair/grave?

T0sser.

**him in

I wouldnt mention it in your local pub. People dont usually like a grass and you might find trouble heading your way.

Is the insult really necessary? I'm sure you wouldnt say that to my face!

how would you shop him in?

Is it a crimestoppers job, or local police? Often wondered, so now's a good time to ask!

I'd drive in front of him, then brake sharply.

I've got a dent in my back bumper that needs paying for :)

There is a police station about 300 yds from the pub. I'll ring there

Isn't there another word for a lovechild?

shop him. the f^cker should not be drinking. wot if he hits your car, you get sweet F^ck all off his insurance and the same goes if he kills/injure someone no compensation to see you through their pain and suffering only a few £ from the criminal injuries compensation board which we the tax payers have to pay for.

When he is in the Pub fiddle with his brakes, That should sober the fooker up

Dont shop him, as otherwise how will he be able to get to Gatwick to fly the 04.00a.m.flight to Sydney? !!!!!

yes, bloke is obviously taking the p!ss, will you wait till hes killed someone?

depends


now, if he's a smoker.....

give me his name and the pub name and location- job sorted


if i pay for a taxi- so can he

Reporting a crime anonymously
Crimestoppers is a completely independent organisation which allows you to provide the details of a crime, without revealing your identity.

You will not be compelled to give your name, sign any kind of statement or appear in court all you have to do is provide the information about the crime.

For more information visit the Crimestoppers website: www.crimestoppers-uk.org (new window)

Warn him if you see him tanked up again and driving, then you'll shop him - and stick to your word. Drink drivers are**, and don't give me any of that crap that each person has a different tolerance level to alcohol. It dulls your reflexes, end of.

how many other laws is he breaking, probably no road tax ,mot or insurance and is does not believe in santa , shop the barsteward.

had the same dilemma few years ago bloke got hammered every night and drove home.
my mate decided letting all his tires down would do the trick.
when he left the pub he did not even realize all 4 tires were flat, got in and drove off lol.
last i heard he was stopped by old bill on way home.

leave a note on his car that he is being warned just the once, if he does it after the warning letter.

let him have it!!!!!!!!!!!!.

If you have a problem with it approach him.

Don't shop him to the police ffs

yup, anonymous note stuck on the car saying he's being shopped if he does it again, should do the trick. Either that or him and his mates just move on to a different pub!

East Midlands news half an hour ago.

40 deaths last year in this region alone due to drunken drivers.

I've changed my mind.

Shoot him.

Is he the only one that does it then?

30% of motoring accidents are caused by drunken drivers.

This means that 70% are caused by sober drivers. It looks to me as though he's a lot safer driving p1ssed.

History Maker's 12.18 post has to be the worst bit of advice ever given on here. Actually say to the bloke that if he does it again he will call the cops. Who in their right mind would do such a thing given the unhinged state of society? I appreciate the sentiment but if you did that in certain pubs not far from me you had better look to move fairly quickly.
To answer the question, I wouldn't shop the bloke personally.

A geezer from our Cricket Club got shopped a few summers back. He always had 4 or 5 pints over a 2 or 3 hour period, then drive home about 10.30pm. The police were waiting at the bottom of his road as he turned in! He was actually very close to not being over the limit he told us. Anyway, he gets done and pays the price. He knew the risk.

However, the rest of the lads at the Club were furious when we found he had been shopped by basically one of us. It took a while but eventually one of the boys found out who it was. It never ceases to amaze me how people just can't help themselves and tell people what they have done. The next season this same chap had the same thing happen to him. What made it so suprising was the original snitch had only had one pint and one Orange juice. God knows how he was over the limit. :) There was a fair degree of less anger the 2nd time around from the rest of the club.

no one likes a grass but this guy is a persistent drink driver, shop him, if he does end up killin sum1 it will b on ur conscience, he knows the rules, fook him.

confront him, you never know he might throw a few pints in your direction to shut you up :)

I think it might come down to the licence holder .i think they should tell him if they don`t**them in aswell as the drink driver (buy one get one free)The bar staff should not serve to him i think

Tricky moral dliemna. Would you grass a mate who was working cash in hand? I wouldn't. Where does it end?

if you could get a reward everyone would shop him
unless hes a copper :)

How often do your mates who work cash in hand run the risk of kiling somebody ?
