i reported a neighbours son for DD, he could hardly stand up so when he drove off i felt it very nessesary to report him before something happened. sadly i found out two months later when the police came round for an interview that he hit a car giving the young girl spinal injuries

so you can see i am a little concerned. i can't say i'm not guilty of morning after driving, which i have done many years ago so i'm no angel , but now i don't drive the next day until the afternoon.


i posted those videos because i thought it relavent , not to suggest your all going to squash somebody but just a thought provoker

be safe

I don't think anyone is suggesting this is a way to cut it fine on a night out, rather a way of ensuring that one is fully clear of alcohol the morning after.
Exactly. Was extremely reassuring after XM.

After a heavy night of partying we then had to drive back to our respective homes the following day. For those of us that felt in good shape it gave some confidence we were actually ok. For those that still felt badly was a good warning to hold off a good while longer.

0.2% at 9.00am this morning.

I had a bottle of (SA) red wine between 8:00pm and 10:30pm last night.

Next weekend I will try 2 bottles .....

Funnily enough I read an article in the papers last night at work about these.

Their findings were that a lot of them were unreliable, but that the Alcosense one was a good bit of kit and was fairly accurate in its readings.
