I bought a personal breathalyser a while ago.

It wakes up the self-delusional when you see the blinking number in front of you

Would that blinking number be effing flashing?

Too much information mate 🙂

I see what you did there Porker. 🙂 People over 50 engaging in perversion that the Pope wouldn’t approve of because it won’t result in reproduction? Send in the TWAT teams!

Fixed it for you.

You would have to be pissed and speeding to tip a car over there for sure very sad for those left behind to pick up the pieces that’s for sure

A top heavy Triton wouldn’t have required much extra to get it to topple. I am amazed this sort of accident hasn’t happened at the roundabout at the other end of Constance Stone.

Not too sure about that I zot around those all the time in my landy with out any fear of it tipping over I think you would still need a lot more pace then one would normally have just going down the road excessive speed comes to mind but that seems to go hand in hand with being pissed

Lets keep the plod out of your bedroom and the church out of parliament.

It’s actually pretty simple. if you’re going to drive stick to 2 drinks or less. That’s what I do.

My wife and I have done the same. We both blow after going to parties and other gigs, and it’s not uncommon for the non-driver of us to be surprised by a 0.15 or above after an evening of steady tippling. It’s certainly good to be able to correlate how you feel with the reading on the device.

So so sad for the families involved, but lets be realistic, you have to be a complete moron to either drink drive or to be a passenger of a drink driver. When the hell will peeps learn? How many unnecessary deaths does it take?

such a sad, sad story. I have been thinking of the family constantly since reading about it in the Canberra Times. How many more lives have to be lost by drink driving. People think they are invincible and go and get in their car not realising its not only their lives they are putting at risk but their passengers and other drivers on the road. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those involved.

There has to be a ‘cheery’ ACT Government safety sign in this – “Drink and drive – end up with your head caved in when the car rolls”.

I understand both poor gents were over the limit and that the driver is taking it more than quite badly, as you’d expect. No boganism, purely poor decisions.
My heartfelt condolences for both of them and their respective families.

FFS … When will it sink into people’s heads… Drink. Drive. You’re a bloody idiot…. !

When getting into a car after drinking and you ask yourself what’s the worst thing that could happen…. Well THIS !

wildturkeycanoe – Did you think that maybe the driver’s family and friends might also read what you said? You barely know anything about it. Nobody deserves to die like that and nobody deserves to carry that guilt for the rest of their lives.

Not passing judgement, agree about nobody deserving to die, just making the point which you obviously picked up on that the driver will have to live with this on his conscience. In his place I’d be wishing it was the other way around.
However, investigation pending or not, blind Freddy can see that it is near impossible to roll a car onto it’s roof if you are doing a safe speed on that roundabout. I’ve been a passenger in a 70’s model car flip/rollover and have also been a driver in a bad prang where fortunately the passenger walked away without a scratch. I barely know anything about it? Save your character judgement until you know a bit more about me.
Apologies to blind Freddy for putting words in his mouth.

The “intersection” is a small, tight roundabout. The plants on the island are way too high and you can’t see s*** when you are coming into the roundabout, even when other cars have their headlights on… not to mention pedestrians or all the feral animals running around there.

Take those plants out, council!

Visability makes intersections more dangerous as People feel safer to go faster.

Bogan tribute to a mate?

Not a chance.

+1 to that. The visibility at these roundabouts are not good.

I feel sorry for the passenger’s family and wonder if it should have been the driver instead.

Woah. Easy tiger.
Until the investigation is completed and the truth is out it’s a bit early to pass judgement.

Regardless, the driver is going to live with the conscience that he may have inadvertently killed his mate.

Exactly, I’m fairly positive that the driver didn’t have marked in his diary “must go out and wipe out my mate tonight”. I’m also fairly sure that the family of the young man who died would be wishing the accident didn’t happen at all and not that the driver had died instead of their son….

If panhead is right, I feel sorry for the passenger’s family and wonder if it should have been the driver instead.

Condolences to the family.
Lived on Constance Stone for just over a year and there wasn’t a Saturday night in my memory that some maniac wasn’t sticking the foot through the floor on or near Constance Stone/McFarlane Burnett. I am amazed that no one has been seriously injured in the past further up Constance Stone where there is usually a 1 inch gap between the parked cars. There have been many close calls and a few missing side-mirrors on the vehicles there.

panhead is right. Unfortunately. Lovely young guy will be sadly missed by many people….

Taken off life support this morning…..

If facebook is reliable I think he passed.
