Lads it’s actually crazy how many people around my hometown still drink and drive. Not a worry in the world. Once you’re outside any makte town, the chances of getting caught are non existent
Probably dying or worse, killing someone else
I thought this was a very good article, Are men more likely to drink and drive or just more likely to get caught? *85% of those arrested are male. Half are under 35*
It’s a shocking read: *Between 2020 and 2023, 37.74% of drink-driving cases that went to court were dismissed entirely. More than one in three. Dismissed*
*Ireland has fewer than 9,000 people accessing alcohol treatment each year despite an estimated 500,000 living with Alcohol Use Disorder.*
The deterrent should be that you are a rational human being and know that alcohol will affect your driving ability. If you only don’t drink and drive for fear of being caught then you may need to re-evaluate you life priorities.
Should start fitting breathalysers in cars, I’ve seen busses and coaches with them. Either that or make the consequences so severe that you can’t afford to go out and get pissed before driving
When random breath testing first came in I was stopped almost every night driving home from the pub.
They really made a point to stop anyone they saw driving late at night.
I was driving home from working in the pub so most of the gardes knew me, a few times they sped off to pull over someone who drove past while they were testing me.
Other than road tax and green diesel it was the only thing I ever saw them actively enforce. When did they stop?
This logic applies to all crime..
Deterrence is if you do it frequently you’re more likely to be caught.. so better not to for you & society.
Do you want somehow for this to be 100%?
Maybe drink driving should be part of the driving test. If there gonna do it atleast make sure there good at it.
The deterrent is having an accident because you’re intoxicated.
I don’t drink and drive. I live down a country road from the pubs, and have never seen the guards, so I think chances of me being caught is much lower than 1 in 77.
For me the deterrent is the possibility of killing myself of someone else.
I guess the risk of killing somebody, or yourself, I mean that is the deterrent anyway for any reasonable person.
If your only deterrent of risk of getting caught then you have a problem!
The deterrent should really just be that it’s very fucking dangerous and you might kill someone else or yourself.
Not that you might get caught and end up with points or no license.
