I wouldn't say 'most', but then that would depend on the circles you move in. If you have a bunch of mates that drink and drive regularly then you might do it yourself.
I'm certainly not whiter-than-white, but I have never ever climbed behind the wheel of a car whilst under the influence and then driven home. Not a chance.
I was a solo singer/guitarist for pretty much my entire career, and if I'd have been caught over the limit I would have lost my licence and thus my career.
What Saunders did was deliberately break the law, therefor he should face the consequences.
How many people, like myself, have got into their car the next morning/afternoon and are probably still over the limit.
It can take a while to clear the system. Anyway that's not a dig at you or anyone. Just a fact told to me
by my arresting desk sargeant. This was many many moons ago, i hasten to add and as i rarely drink these days,
don't have any worries about this.

Lol,do you drive a white van?Saunders is alright. Comes across as half sensible on Talk Sport and his kid plays for Curzon Ashton. Always has nice things to say about City. Just a bit unlucky by the sounds of it.

Cut 5 people out of a car Sunday morning, speeding possible alcohol involved, 80mph into a house, luckily they didnt kill anyone, they on the other hand didnt come off very well, selfish people who do this shit get no sympathy from me, Saunders is the same, if hed killed someone then what, he should be sat in a cell now, twat.

I've had arguments on here mate with posters who just don't think drink driving should result in a jail sentence, wether that's once, twice or three times caught too.Cut 5 people out of a car Sunday morning, speeding possible alcohol involved, 80mph into a house, luckily they didnt kill anyone, they on the other hand didnt come off very well, selfish people who do this shit get no sympathy from me, Saunders is the same, if hed killed someone then what, he should be sat in a cell now, twat.
I’ve heard off someone who lives over in Bolton that a few times at their local near Christmas the police put very small reflective stickers on the rear bumper of cars in the pub car park, so they know who to pull over after closing timeWe are very 'lucky' in this country, my lad lives in Australia and he says they regularly have stop check breath tests in the morning to catch those that are still over the limit.

Hmmmm, couldn't they just take registration numbers ? I suppose you can see a sticker from further away though. But if they do, good for them. There was a time, certainly in the 70's and the eighties when it was acceptable because that's what people did. Fair play to the Sun newspaper, it started a campaign to show it wasn't acceptable and because it had a large readership public opinion turned.
Besides which Dean Saunders could easily afford a taxi, the fact that he chose to drive when pissed shows what a selfish prick he is.
Never knew that about the sun, seems they are good for something at leastHmmmm, couldn't they just take registration numbers ? I suppose you can see a sticker from further away though.

It is the only decent thing they have done but fair play to them. The attitude of 'everyone' was it was ok to be pissed and drive, it was a social thing and at a time when you couldn't really afford taxis. It was also a lot quieter on the roads so it was accepted, you were rarely caught and prosecuted and you would never go to jail, no chance. Slowly though there were more crashes, more injuries and the Sun decided to lead the way and it did change attitudes. Sadly 30-40 years later they are just a comic - but not the funny kind.
Yeah well I was born late eighties so it’s always been a no no when I’ve had a brain, genuinely shocked it was the sun that got the ball rolling though these days they’d be more inclined to print a picture of a crash than try to prevent oneIt is the only decent thing they have done but fair play to them.

Wow, who did you learn that?If you have an iPad, hold down the 'u', and accented letters will appear above it. Slide your finger/stylus to 'ü'.
If you are on a laptop, hold down the 'alt' key, and type '0252'.

Because it wouldn’t be long before most cars there were driving round with stickers permanently attached if their owners didn’t remove them.

Plus the police would be pulling over a lot of designated drivers without any indication of poor driving. It would be easier to pull over drivers who don't bother signalling. Oh hang on that would mean 80% of drivers being pulled.Because it wouldn’t be long before most cars there were driving round with stickers permanently attached if their owners didn’t remove them.
Well they didn’t say it was a common occurrence, the guy told me it was one Christmas. Perhaps they did it then realised it wasn’t very workableBecause it wouldn’t be long before most cars there were driving round with stickers permanently attached if their owners didn’t remove them.

No way the cops would do this, aside from it being ridiculous, I doubt it's even legal for them to apply stickers on cars... Sounds like a pub story to me, we've all made em up at one point or another .... :-)Well they didn’t say it was a common occurrence, the guy told me it was one Christmas.
