2 beers, on day off, in personal car = fired

It's faux pas in case you ever have to write it out somewhere that makes a difference. Not picking, just informing.

 

It looks like the debate here is 50/50 either way the moral of the story is don't drink and drive.

 

Why do you care? What does it matter what someone else's motivation or interest is?

As unfortunate as that is, it has zero to do with anyone in this thread and for you to be projecting your bias on posters that have legitimate questions is distasteful.

That's your problem.

No one is suggesting otherwise. That doesn't mean that people cannot have a discussion about the topic for whatever reasons suits them; whether it be for interest, or clarification, or maybe they even have a contrary opinion.

You post implies something far different.

 

I'm out here on the road everyday. So is my family. It matters a great deal to me what the motivitations and interests of professional drivers are. It's why I'm a member.

I have obviously misintrepeted the focus and direction of this thread. I have obviously offended you and for that I apologize. The subject of drinking and driving is a hot topic to me. I did not mean to get out of line. I see where my post ended in a disrespectful manner. Please accept my sincere apologies.

 

I commend your ability to be a man and apologize. I am sure your right there probably are some here who were in this discussion because someday it may effect them when driving after having a few. I for one can guarantee this is not the case with me. I have not drank anything in 7 years and I'm not a alcoholic. The only alcohol I use is in my spaghetti sauce and cordon bleu. I was participating in this discussion purely out of trying to correct misinterpretations. Also it became a challenge when people insisted that it was one way when I was able to search and find that they were obviously wrong.

 

I have followed this thread since its birth. It is not the first of its kind.

This argument is ridiculous. By this comparison, you are indicating a belief that there is a Constitutional right to drink alcohol and drive, and that there is a further Constitutional right to a law degree. When was the last time you read any of that dreck that flows from DC? When you understand even a single page in its entirety, please let us know.

It's actually pretty cut and dried. Don't drink and drive. Seems pretty simple to me.

All this talk about officer discretion. There are very standard FSTs an officer gives that are consistent across the board. If you fail FSTs, you blow into the little tube. Blow positive on the tube after failing FSTs, regardless of level, you are impaired.

I merely became irritated with all this hair-splitting over numbers. Who bleeding cares? If you're going to drink, DON'T DRIVE!

 

I really don't know what your point is on this stupid you tube video. It just goes to show the public how stupid people can be. I watched the video and saw a tanker going the right direction and look like he's having some problems but clearly not going the wrong way. And how does the guy on the phone know he's hauling gasoline.

 

Sorry I stand corrected. Somehow when he did the flip it was blocked out the first two times I viewed the video. I'm still a little confused on the video itself why it did that because the first time I went 3/4 off the way through and it did not show the truck doing a u-turn. But I still stand behind the public making stupid mistakes all the time about trucks and what they're hauling. Just not in this case, I'm the stupid one.

 

I just add a video once in while,

for entertainment value..........
