It's manly to drink drive, just ask 95% of the rednecks on here.

Can any one provide a link to the piece of legislation that says this is illegal or legal!

gunhand, Sep 25, 7:06am
Kinda goes to show that most really have know idea what there talking about, Someone does need to post a link to show once and for all to prove it or disprove it. or is it not in the many laws we have easly found on the net that some useually provide links to.
Seems even the police themselves have no idea either if you believe whats posted here.

You will not find a specific link that highlights the illegality or otherwise of this grey area of the law.

Careless use of a motor vehicle is breaking the law, drinking a beer whilst driving is,. careless use of a motor vehicle.

I used to have one stubby everynight on way home from work. Mrs hated it and asked a cop. Answer was that there waszero they could do about it. One night coming home from work,I camearound a blind corner to see threecopcars at a fatal accident. Cop came straight to my windowand saw I had a steiny in the cup holder. I told himhow I have one every nightand the cop verified that it really isnt a problem in their eyes.

Usdefault used to be a lawyer. Obviously not a very good one or he or she would not be involved in a debate like this. Go back to law school but please dont fall asleep this time!

crzyhrse, Sep 25, 4:19pm
Bit difficult, since there's no such thing (even when you spell 'road' correctly).

Some lawyer, eh. Ringing to ask Police. ROFLMAO.

crzyhrse, Sep 25, 4:20pm
Julian doesn't!

pollymay, Sep 25, 4:28pm
usdefault is trying very hard. However misuse of a motorvehicle will be that way sober or not, it's not separating that factor out. The argument about killing people having one drink is overdramatized at best.

crzyhrse, Sep 25, 4:33pm
Same as 'speeding'.

sifty, Sep 25, 6:14pm
