With all the saturation in the media people still took the risk. No wonder people die out there.The "T" took a flogging for 7 hours straight chasing down all the "runners" 100% percent capture, it was light a snake pouncing on the rats. The 7 hours were more like 7 minutes with the fun I was having. Very disappointing I was kept busy though. :( Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/8278-idiot-drivers-45-dd-in-own-shift/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PaulM Guests Posted 03/01/04 01:11 AM Share Posted 03/01/04 01:11 AM Curious, sounds like you have the fun part of police work, I envy you. You must get some incredibly hot runs around the streets.This DD message is slow to sink in with a lot.Be interested in the stats, eg how old etc, has the message got through to us oldies and the younguns haven't learnt, or have they grown up with the drink drive, bloody idiot mentality anyway and we have yet to relearn.Or is it just a matter of there being idiots from all ages and walks of life.

Surely they would realise that there would be a lot of police on the roads.Mind you, here in Adelaide I was driving on NYE and only came across 1 RBT. And that was getting traffic heading towards Glenelg (major party spot in Adelaide) rather than traffic heading away from there. Didn't make much sense to me. Oh, I did see one other RBT getting traffic heading out of the city centre. That made a bit more sense to me.

I'd be interested to know how many were only just over 0.05 and how many were way over.Don't get me wrong - I'm amazed that people still drive drunk but I read an article in the paper that said driving at 0.05 affected a drivers reflexes the same as if the he/ she was driving at 10 km/h over the limit - and how many of you out there do that regularly?
