Yes, muscledude, my reasons for drinking are indeed being working class and engaging in male bonding.

I shall give it up forthwith.

I gave up drinking once, hardest eight hours of my life…

I gave up listening to people telling me to give up drinking. That was much easier than giving up drinking.

Who says?
If it’s safe to drive with a blood-alcohol concentration of .04, why is it unsafe to ddrive with a .06?
Considering alcohol affects different people in different ways, the arbitrarily-set limit is completely meaningless.

And when a judge gets caught and explains that she thinks the law is an ass if you can’t have a couple of glasses of wine with dinner before driving home, I think that should apply to all of us:

That whole ‘viewing the world in black and white’ thing of yours must be crippling your abillity to function in normal society almost as much as your belief that the Herald Sun is a viable source of truthful information.

There is nothing wrong with enjoying a drink. I’m sure most people look forward to having a relaxing drink on a Friday evening after a hard weeks effort at work.

However, if you chose to drink…..then don’t drive. Simple. Have a Plan B in place, to get you home safely, and help keep our ACT roads and Community safe. It’s not rocket science, it’s pure common sense and wise cognitive thinking.

You’re not engaging in any “cognitive thinking” (haha), you’re just regurgitating propaganda fed to you by the government that’s trying to impose a completely silly arbitrary law.

I have my Friday drinks, AND I drive home. I go out to dinner and I drive home. I have never caused a crash in 40 years of driving, so I think I know a thing or two about “keeping the community safe”; a thing or two that is apparently lost on the large numbers of presumably sober drivers who seem completely unaware, or uncaring, of the dangers of failing to leave a safe distance between the car in front and whom the police are completely ignoring in favour of carrying on with their myopic focus on speed and alcohol.

Go onto our website, http://www.dialadriveract.com.au Click on “Awareness” button. Have a quick look at the 1st & 2nd video clips named “Drink Driving Dilemma” & “TAC 20 year Anniversary”. That my friend……is ‘why’ it is what it is….and Prestige Dial A Driver, do what we do.! “Prevention”

Probably the only reason you haven’t had a crash in 40 years whilst driving under the influence of alcohol, is because members of the Community have been swerving to dodge you on the roads!! You’re obviously a gambling man? Personally, life is not replaceable as is casino chips.

Yes, drink driving laws are silly. What would you propose instead of the arbitrarily set limits? Different limits for each individual driver? That wouldn’t be silly at all. Seriously, what is your answer? You may be fine to drive at .08 or even .10, while others are noticeably affected at well below that.

For starters, lift the limit to .08 or .09, thus reducing the incidence of drink-driving to far lower levels than they currently are.

Then, let’s consider the whole idea of criminalising people on account of *behaviour* instead of on account of them actually causing any damage to person or property.

There aren’t too many other laws that are used to persecute people who haven’t in fact caused anybody any damage or injury. I’m thinking of anti-sodomy laws, for example – completely ridiculous, just like drink-driving laws.

Your total inability to debate the topic at hand, and obsession with issuing unnecessary personal attack in its place, must hinder yours even more so.

You proudly drink and drive and have never had an accident. Good on you. Most drink drivers can say the same, but you only need to mess up once, don’t you?

BTW, there’s a reason police focus on speed and alcohol, given they are prevalent factors in many serious and fatal crashes. Tailgating, on the other hand, isn’t (not that there is an offence called tailgating anyway). There is an offence of ‘follow too closely to stop safely’ – most easy to prove when there is a prang.

BRAH DO YOU EVEN LIFT?!

We drink and smoke because it’s more fun than the pitiful, soulless, hell-pit of self-worship that is the gym.

We affirm our lives though good cheer in the convivial surrounds of the public house. We share a bottle with a loved one in a moment of intimacy. We smoke a cigar in celebration. We dissect the events of the shift with cheeky cig in our grim, working-class occupations.

A protein shake after a hard day would feel like penance; but a cold beer like Olympian nectar.

Fie on you, Muscledude_oz and back to the strip-lit pit of self-regard that spawned you!

hahahaha

Everyone has their own opinion. I respect others, and expect the same in return.
“twat” really?? hahaha

At least I’m doing my part in the Community to help keeping it safe. What are you doing Antagonist, apart from as your name implies?

Constructive criticism I welcome. Time wasters that have nothing more than negative input to positive action – I have no time for.

Regardless of “Taken out of Context”….I am professional, as is my Business, and any form of accusation like ” There you have it folks, dial a driver has inadvertently endorsed drug driving as an alternative when taken out of context.” made against me or my business, is considered an act of defamation of character. Thus the reply I provided to that as above.

If you have any problems regarding this, feel free to make contact with me directly for further discussion.

There is NO excuse for drinking and driving, when there are alternative options to consider.

There you have it folks, dial a driver has inadvertently endorsed drug driving as an alternative when taken out of context.

I’m sorry, I’ll make this statement a little clearer for you PBO. You may want to read a bit slower. “There is no excuse for drinking and driving when there are alternative options to consider i.e. Taxi, Public Transport, designated drivers (friends/Family) or Prestige Corporate Dial A Driver”.

Let it be made very clear, that Prestige Corporate Dial A Driver do not endorse or support “drug driving”, or any form of illicit drug taking whatsoever. And nor do we support or endorse drink driving.

PrestigeDialaDriver … I love your condescending attitude towards potential clients. Particularly those who clearly show they are taking the piss by using they key words ‘… when taken out of context’. Congratulations on showing all of Canberra what a twat you are
