  1. #CarWeek #MontereyCounty Thanks to California Highway Patrol, who took a hit - quite likely preventing harm to someone else. "A Porsche was stopped after going 90 mph in a 55 mph zone. After the driver was pulled over, the Porsche backed into a CHP patrol vehicle, CHP alleges.” - Ricardo Tovar, #KSBW ksbw.com/article/porsche-four- #SpeedLimits #SafeStreets #LawEnforcement #TrafficSafety #DrunkDriver #DUI #alcohol

  2. #RealityTV star Jack Tweed got a 12 month #driving ban for #DUI in #Essex after officers detected #cannabis in his system whilst on the road in #Chelmsford area

    He claims this will affect his new job as an #electrician and his recovery - but its not first #DUI charge he's had and stoned workmen are a menace on the roads - although they don't speed and cause big crashes they cause many low speed collisions/scrapes especially when parking or loading/unloading and cost other drivers a lot of money in repairs and raised insurance premiums..

  3. Alas: it is very likely the partying excesses of my generation which directly led to new #DUI laws being passed in the first place ( 2015 #England, 2019 #Scotland ) - unlike #alcohol where #driving impairment is obvious, with stimulant #partydrugs most people are safe on the roads after the peak of the drug has worn off but they are still awake/alert - what bites them in the arse is the comedown / sleep deprivation (there's even warnings about this in my books about motoring from the 1960s and 1970s!)

    So if folk are staying high until Sunday evening, this hits during weekdays and can (and did) cause bad crashes during rush hours (which ofc often involve innocent parties) - hence the clampdowns (EU wide) as soon as there was enough evidence to prove what was happening.. >>

  4. I am wary of online commenters on news sites, but I've been to enough #raves until late 00s (in both London/SE England and #EastAnglia to believe the one who pointed out #ravers were still on site by 18:00 Sunday).

    This is the weak point (and allowed #Police to take action, confiscating the sound equipment and busting folk for #DUI) - a new shift of cops (with a lot of Specials) against knackered sleep deprived ravers are obviously going to win any confrontation..

    In 90s/00s what happened more often is the rave wound down about 10:00-12:00 and everyone dispersed and cleared up the area - and old bill pretty much left crews and partyfolk alone to do that rather than get the next shift ready for heavy stuff, but with todays DUI laws that may not be possible >>

  5. Recognised #Clacton straight away on this #ITV report about #DUI and #DrugDriving

    #Essex #Police #RPU ( #RoadsPolicingUnit ) sarge seems to be taking fashion tips from Alexander Lukashenko , and lass nicked for #cannabis use behind the wheel doesn't come across as sharpest tool in the box..

    #Cops divulge how they check for minor #traffic violations as a reason to stop drivers for the DUI check (sleep deprivation caused by #drugs can lead to these)

    TBH wasn't expecting the #DPD driver to be positive as these companies tend to do their own drug tests, though he should really have been wearing his #seatbelt

  6. Former Fox News Sunday host totally unqualified. #DEI #DUI Hirad white supremacist. Pete Hegseth now wants soldiers over 30 screened for testosterone deficiency.

    The Pentagon has enough real challenges without turning into a hormone clinic.

  7. Today's BAC high score is: .214!

    "A suspected DUI driver ended up 100 miles off-course in Tucson after attempting to drive home to Tempe from a Phoenix bar.

    Arizona state troopers say the driver caused a wrong-way, rollover collision on Interstate 10."

  8. @skinnylatte I would give them extra stars for having no free parking because that discourages people from drinking and driving #dui

  9. At present groups of neighbouring constabularies often share a Roads Policing Unit with various #ANPR capabilities - the local #Councils also have #ANPR schemes used for parking / bus lane enforcement, but these don't always share data and monitoring posts on car forums I've seen from serving #Police Officers they claim there's a lot of "red tape" to go through to get ANPR data, even within the RPU.

    Most of the time its just used to catch those without vehicle #insurance, the leadfooted and those who are suspected of #DUI (especially #drugs use and/or using their vehicle for #transport as part of a drugs dealing network)

  10. #ThamesValleyPolice and #Hampshire #Constabulary in Southern #England test a new #breathalyser (developed following research in the #Netherlands ) which checks #drivers for use of #nitrousoxide (laughing #gas) - a form of #DUI that has led to serious #collisions across #Europe

    (it almost seems like drivers are taking this stuff out of spite, as use of other substances is now tested for and detectable so folk have stopped doing them as much when regularly driving)

    This is apparently the first device of this kind in the World!

  12. An #arrest for attempt #murder rather than simply causing #injury by dangerous #driving is relatively unusual - and in line with #Norfolk and Suffolk Constabulary's own policies suggests this #collision in #Norwich between a car and cyclist was *deliberate* (at very least there appears to also be #DUI and both #alcohol and #drugs playing a factor)
