Sorry to put you on the spot here but, in your opinion, at what point is a banned drink driver who - according to phiply - seems to be driving about while regularly pished not ‘a danger to anyone’? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are driving drunk report them. If they are no longer driving drunk after their brush with the law the police will catch up with them should they continue to drive whilst banned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So banned drink drivers should be allowed to continue driving about the community -who should turn a blind eye - until our royally underfunded justice system eventually get round to catching up with this character? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one here would be condoning them continuing to drive without licence - but it's a case of how much you want to police the situation yourself.Not an easy one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an easy one. Ok. Be bold. Pick either side of a - I understand a very difficult- binary decision. A banned (proven drunk) and now uninsured driver or the community. Who’s side you on?

Never meant to quote this. 47 minutes ago, Raidernation said: FFS guys, if he’s banned he’s UNINSURED! Get him off the road before he costs someone money if not their life Pretty much this. No crashes will be sorted, more likely to hit and run and if they are willing to drive about without a licence or insurance I don't believe they'd give not having a drink before going into the car much consideration either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A banned (proven drunk) and now uninsured driver or the community. Who’s side you on? I'm on the side of the community - but I'm not the police.Would you phone the police /record for evidence someone who was doing over 90 on the motorway? Quite clearly those drivers are endangering other people.There's got to be a line where you decide to get involved. This isn't an easy one, but i still stand by my initial judgment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine Hibs Fan Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 In hindsight I don't think I can be blamed for not reporting Brian the axe murder when I saw him walking down the street with an axe, given that he wasn't covered in blood at the time 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably it's the same car he committed his offence in in which case it will be getting pulled over a lot especially at this time of year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this just go for crime or if you saw a fire would you say "I'm not a fireman" and let someone's house burn down? If you saw someone collapsed on the pavement, I assume you'd walk by and potentially let them die as you're not a paramedic? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 My other half is the same. A whole bunch of folk will get killed and she’ll say “aww, poor dog”. Folk getting mauled left right and centre or their chests bursting open in Aliens? No problem. Alien bursts out of dog’s chest in Alien3?
