OT Drink driving
My dad blew 147 on the breath test by the side of the road. They took his car and also he's in jail atm till a verdict is reached. I know people who got caught and were released till court date 24 hours later. Why is my dad being held till court date is upon him?
I've also got a few other questions
What's the likelihood he's going to lose his license. I ask this because he'll probably lose his job and if he does that he'll have to sell his house as well.

I’m glad he will lose his license
I’m glad he will lose his job and I hope he loses his house
For you I apologise you’re dad is a total tool
Good thing I don't live with him. He probably deserves to lose his license no question about that. What I don't agree with is how the police are handling the situation. One of my mates from 2016 was pulled over blew 88 over and got released with court date 2 weeks later. I remember it well because I had to walk home because I was in the car with him nice 3 mile treck -2 outside in October.
I have friends that killed themselves and others because of drink driving. I know that sounds cold but they were reckless even if the result is really sad.
You put yourself at danger, but more importantly others. It's selfish and completely unacceptable.
I would expect points at the very minimum although a ban would be fully possible. He got 147 when the max is 35? Crazy.
Blowing a 147 is 4 x the legal limit (limit is 35 microgrammes per 100ml of breath in England and Wales).
If what you've said is correct he's miles over the limit and therefore almost guaranteed to lose his licence.
Hes definately going to lose his licence
I'm sorry, but the man will have to live with the consequences of his actions.
Well apparently he passed out when he got cuffed, he was left to sober up till morning then he got told he's being held till court date. No violence or anything. The police told me he was out cold for 4 hours till he started throwing up everywhere.
If you blow 1 point over it's a ban
147 and it's in the papers
What a tool
so he passed out when he got cuffed. what would of happened if he passed out behind the wheel and went head on into another vehicle???
If you’re in the UK, the limit is 35!
probably an automatic
Obviously not his first time at the rodeo
If only that were the case it might dissuade more people from doing it. I've several mates in the old bill so hear some absolute horror stories.
Unfortunately there will have been hundreds of people over the last week caught at that level (and above) but it's very rare they'll go in the papers unless there has been a collision.
Just don't try and take on his pressure.
If he can't find alternate methods of transport to his job (albeit it's not a driving job) then he will need to source a different income.
There really is no excuse for it.
2 pints is usually over I think. Obviously that depends on the person.
doesnt matter about how many glasses it depends on the person mate you have to factor all the below
weight, age, sex and metabolism
The type and amount of alcohol you’re drinking
What you’ve eaten recently
Your stress levels at the time
