26% of his blood was alcohol!!! Heavens!
Damn, I don't think I've ever encountered people that drunk outside of motor vehicles more than a few times.
I have no respect for drunk drivers as well. I always take a bus if I have to drink, or a cab. Of course, I can't actually drive with any amount of alcohol in the body because my licence doesn't let me yet.

Mattk - turns out the owner was indeed English, so you may well have been right.

Probably the Barmy Army's sponsor.

He blew 0.26 when tested, the legal alcohol limit here is 0.05 - so he was WELL over. No excuses RC, he is a dickhead. |
I am not saying there is any excuse.
There is none.
The guy hit a pole.
No one was killed, and this entire thread is "he deserves this that and the other - doesn't deserve to drive a ferrari etc etc"
My comment is to all you 2 faced people for "throwing the book" at his guy twice.. once for crashing a ferrari and another for driving drunk..
He hit a pole.. not another person and yet you all call for blood and the death penalty.... so again, what would you say if that was your father brother or uncle and he drove drunk yet hit a pole - we don't need to hear about "what if" because it never happened.
Would you say the same things?
I think not..
In fact... I can think of a situation close to home where the outcome was a deadly accident and the same folks calling for blood here, are offering condolensces elsewhere.
All I am suggesting is amore measured and appropriate response to this accident.. the driver simply broke the law..
Think about it.. as we have seen accidents can and do happen to anyone.. the momentary lapse in judgement could be 15 drinks too many or ill time manouvres :roll:

Matt - not 26%, 0.26%.
RC45 - I never asked for the death penalty or anything like it, just said that someone who drinks THAT much shouldn't have the right to own a Ferrari or any other high powered car. Of course if he has the money he can have one, nothing I can do about it.
He will lose his license for some time and hopefully he'll learn his lesson.

Why does one person deserve a ferrari more then another? They cost a certain amount, and therefore, limit the clientel. you know this.
As to saying people who drink that much shouldn't be allowed to own a F car... well, that would eliminate 90+% of Ferrari owners right there. The difference is, that 89% of them don't make the wrong decision to get behind the wheel when intoxicated. This is no different then the small percentage of people that make that desision in regular cars.
The fact is, he was wrong, and we are glad he is not hurt; and nobody else was hurt. He has paid a high price for his choice... and that price is going to predominatnly come from the damages of the car; since nobody was hurt.

He must be feeling even worse, now that England have lost the Ashes.

This happened at about 7.30pm, we actually have daylight until 8.30pm (with daylight savings at the moment) so the pics are deceiving.

Not the point. It's late enough in the day to start drinking.

My photos are now being used on the news here (TV), surely thats copyright infringement - I was never asked even though there are no watermarks (silly me).

Call them up and complain! Say you'll go on a current affairs show and expose the deceit of news producers!
So the newsies come here to steal our pictures? Interesting.
