DUI twice in one night on Limestone Avenue

Clearly the deterrant of having their car taken away and crushed is not enough of a deterrant for idiots like this. Might I suggest a new strategy? Crush the driver.

Okay, more realistically, don’t let them out of the lockup until they are sobre. This is happening too often.

Oh, and excellent work for the police who obviously correctly figured the driver would try drive their car off and took sensible precautions to catch the repeat offender in the act. I am sure the offender won’t be able to argue that it was their first time or that they won’t do it again. I think the police’s actions should ensure the offender is removed from our streets for a while.

Agreed. Whilst I appreciate alcoholism is a serious problem (presuming this is a driving factor here, apart from stupidity and sociopathy) at the end of the day I can’t help thinking that a person under these circumstances should be placed in remand until such time as they have their case heard before the court.

I don’t get how in the 21st century we still have people who seem to think it is an acceptable risk to drink and drive.

I’m just glad ACTP got him off the roads before he hurt anyone.

I don’t think they compound cars in the ACT for DUI’s. However they do for burnouts.. Which seems a bit weird to me.

Of course not, it was only a Ford Falcon.

He returned a Blood Alcohol Concentration reading of 0.070. As his licence was earlier suspended, the applicable blood alcohol limit was zero.
Pardon my ignorance in all things drink-driving, but isn’t his BAC reading a little irrelevant since he was driving when his licence had been suspended?

This is the third time in the past year that idiots have been busted twice for DUI within a 2 to 3 hour period. The stupidity is twofold and needs to be addressed immediately.
