Hi

Yes he was sent on rehabillation course before and went straight back to drinking, and has drank everyday since in the excess of 15 pints. Im at my wits end and fed up with all of it. I hope he does receive a custodial as he isn't safe to drive at all.

I can only imagine he's going to jail, and for longer than last time.

He needs to go to Alcoholics Anonymous. Drink driving is never OK, but it's not like he's a youngster doing something stupid or an old boy who 'knows' he can drive after four points; 7x the limit is absolutely hammered and a non-alcoholic would not be able to drink that much without throwing up or falling asleep.

<< All prisoners serving a determinate sentence are released unconditionally at the half way point. As well as that, those sentenced to between three months and four years are released on "Home Detention Curfew". >>

At the risk of going off at a tangent, can Middleman explain the purpose and meaning of sentences when protocol dictates that they never happen ? I've always wondered.

I am also wondering why the subject of this thread has apparently been able to have his driving licence returned after these DD offences?

I was under the impression that passing an extended driving test was mandatory before the return of the licence after a serious DD offence - but perhaps not in the light of this thread.

And how in hell's name does he get insurance with his driving record?

He should not buy a car.

Well duh!
