Tiredness is also a danger, having a rake of ale on Friday and Saturday night, then driving home early on Sunday.

 

Aye, years ago I was out in Stoke and long story short was awake all night after basically trying to pull a lass on her couch (I didn't but by fcuk she teased).  

 

Hadn't touched a drop for about 7 hours and after my mate nagging me drove back to Manchester in rush hour morning traffic.  Got about half way and had to stop as I literally couldn't keep my eyes open.  Had a couple of close shaves when braking too late.

 

Swore I'd never do anything like that again.  Stupid as fook really.

 

That said, as others have mentioned I'm sure I would drive better than most I see out there after a few scoops - i'd back myself in that state over being tired any-day.  Not that I'd drive after any more than a pint

Problem is after a few scoops you always feel you'd be better than you actually are. At least when you are tired you become aware of it and have the capacity to stop. Both are dangerous.

 

No doubt.

 

Mobiles are another mega hazard.  Driving up to Bolton earlier this week a car in front (fast lane) swerved over both lanes and nearly hit the central reservation.  This happened over a minute or so.  Having my lad in the back I moved over to slow lane - turns out it's a young lass tapping on her mobile . . .

Doesn't matter if you can drive like James Hunt (sober) and/or hold your ale like Ollie Reed, everyone's split second reactions are affected by even tiny amounts of alcohol...

 

Take the test before and after a glass, can, pint, whatever..

Aye, a mate used to claim he was fine drink driving but had to point out if a kid ran into the road right in front of him or someone ploughed into him, it'd still be him in the shit

 

Hes been banned twice since

Irlams o'th' height?

 

What a ridiculous name for a place.

 

Thornton became Thornton-Cleveleys in 1927 to distinguish itself from twenty-odd other Thorntons, half of which were in Yorkshire.

Even if Irlam o'th' heights is a good 12 miles away.

I was talking about bottom and top oth'moor ,captain pedantic.

 

Oh and Malcolm.... little Thornton was in the doomsday book ????
