| SimonSaysFYou said: hey you know what, you're right. I was a drunk moron and I got what I deserved. I deserved to have my license suspended for a year, to be placed on probation for 3 years, to attend alcoholic (because I am such an alcoholic) drunk driving classes, AND to pay the hefty fines associated with it. All of the punishments totally fit the crime. Dude seriously, I am in college, and believe it or not, about 90% of the people I know have drank and drove before. The only ones that haven't are the ones that don't drink at all. I get it, you think drunk drivers are morons, but if you read what I said several posts ago, I explicitely said that I don't do it anymore. So please, put a lid on it. If you really want to try and stop someone from drinking and driving, go to a high school and preach your 'empirical evidence' and 'factual basis' all you want. I'm sure you'll be heard by a few people. I'm the OP and I say...LOCK THIS THREAD please. |
Well of course you don't do it any more, you're banned from driving. I would also imagine that when you get your licence back you wont do it again.
Jeez, you have a go at people for being "judgemental", you can't take the fact that people oppose drink driving and you have to act condescending towards them, despite them just being honest. You make a thread looking for sympathy after you committed three crimes and got your keys taken away, it will never happen.
Also, drinking is legal in the UK from 18, the age you go to University, and I've been at University for four years and I should be there for four more, but I've never seen 90% of my Uni mates drive drunk. Perhaps 10%, maybe 20%, but certainly not 90%. I drink quite a lot, but I've never had the urge to drive after I've drank and I would describe myself as an average University student.
And I never suggested you be placed on probation for 3 years or attend alcoholic driving classes... Hell, I never even suggested you were and alcoholic. You just put words in my mouth. Quite frankly I thought a year ban was too harsh for you, but you've obviously assumed I wanted you to have a harsh punishment.
