I`m not convinced that the "call the police,hang him,ban him forever" brigade would be as keen for summary justice if instead of an on trial low life employed window cleaner being in the car it was their wife/favourite niece.
In fact i am pretty damn sure.
I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't be so non-judgemental and lenient if he had parked his car on your wife/favourite neices head cause he was drunk & driving.
If you saw a guy running down the road holding a machete you'd call the police, this guy was tumbling down the road in about a ton of steel, would you think it was still ok if he parked it on a bus queue of kids?
Anyone who drives after drinking is a scumbag/selfish turd.
That goes for all the idiots who drive while talking on their phones.
You see them every day weaving all over the road, they don't even know they're doing it.
Rant over.
