Hi all . . .
I would imagine that I am no exception here, and that we all have done it, at some time.
I got caught here in NZ about 4 years ago, and blew the digital alcoliser at well over twice the legal limit here. I am certainly not proud of it, and apart from having to walk everywhere for six months, when I had a perfectly good car parked in the garage, I paid a fine of $830.00NZD, plus $130.00NZD Court Costs. (I believe that NZ is still one of the most lenient countries in the world, as to alcohol levels).
At the exchange rate at the time, this was something over 350 pounds UK. What was worse . . . This put a reasonable hole in my Thai holiday account!!!
I just don't do it now, at all! I can see no reason to go on holiday to another country like Thailand, and to think that somehow that I am bulletproof because I am a Tourist.
I know that some BM's hail from various Scandinavian countries, where there is a 'zero' tolerance, where driving and alcohol is concerned. Why then, do some feel they are entitled to get themselves totally 'legless' and drive, just because they are in another country on holiday ?
Cheers
