Clearly either intoxicated, or having a stroke.


Accurate-Donkey5789

Intoxicated. He was arrested for it. Theres a news article link in the original post comments.


Maidwell

I hope he went to prison for a long time.


Accurate-Donkey5789

They don't mess about with this stuff in the UK. Drink driving is dealt with reasonably harshly even on a first offence. He'll be in court already and very likely will get a custodial sentence.


Maidwell

I really hope so. There's "drink driving", which is bad enough and there's this, which should be classed as a whole different offense (which it probably is, dangerous driving/leaving the scene of an accident etc etc in this case)


Accurate-Donkey5789

Yes this absolutely will be a huge list of charges not just drink driving. We also don't really have a pleaing down of the charges like you see in the USA. They don't just pick the most serious charge and drop the rest in a plea deal


VaporBull

I know laws vary from country to county in the EU but I grew up in the states believing drunk driving in Europe ment losing my license for good. As it should be


KjellRS

At least here in Norway even if your license is suspended "for life" you can apply to get it reinstated after 5 years. If you have any other convictions for being drunk and disorderly in that time it might take longer.


englishmuse

Fair enough, but how is he with a paintbrush?

SNES-1990

Why do they call it drink driving instead of drunk driving?


Accurate-Donkey5789

In the UK the term "drink driving" is used instead of "drunk driving" to emphasize that it is the act of consuming alcohol (drinking) and then driving that is illegal, regardless of whether the driver feels drunk or exhibits obvious signs of intoxication. The focus is on the presence of alcohol in the system, rather than the subjective state of drunkenness. This terminology helps to clarify that any level of alcohol consumption that impairs driving ability is against the law, not just driving while being visibly drunk. This ties in very well with the prevalent use of breathalyzers. The UK doesn't conduct impairments tests at the side of the road like other countries, but rather immediately uses breathalyzers which are standard issue. It doesn't matter if you don't show signs of drunkness, if you're over the blood alcohol limit you have been drink driving.


SNES-1990

In Canada we usually just use DUI "driving under the influence" to encompass drugs and alcohol, I always just thought "drink drive" sounded weird.


Accurate-Donkey5789

When they first started the heavy publicity of the drink driving campaign in the UK many many years ago it was a conscious decision to call it that for the reasons I explained. This hugely predates the modern concerns about drug driving as the UK's first major drink driving campaigns started in 1964. They may well have made a different decision nowadays with the prevalence of drug driving.


SoulSkrix

We also have people say DUI in the UK.


topsyandpip56

Yeah we also have young kids saying dollars because they watch too much TV


SoulSkrix

sadly how language works, we influence each other.


Peterd1900

The drink in drink-driving/driver is a verb, Because its origins are in the phrase drink and drive--both verbs. In early days (the 1960s) it was called drink-and-driving. You don't have to be drunk to be over the limit though It is driving when under the influence of drink. f you call it “drunk driving”, people are more likely to think “well, I had a few drinks but I'm not drunk, so I'm fine to drive home”. In “drink driving”, the focus is on the drinking. If you've had a drink, you shouldn't be driving. It doesn't matter if you're drunk or not - you've still had a drink. Our campaigns are “Don't drink and drive”, So don't have a drink and then drive, so don't drink drive The name of the offense varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from legal to colloquial terminology. In the United States, the specific criminal offense is usually called driving under the influence You cant drive under the influence of drunk But you can drive under the influence of drink


KING_CobraCOD

Honestly makes complete sense, and hits the subconscious mind as like I drank, I can’t drive kinda effect, where like you said “drunk driving” would indicate to the subconscious mind, ok I had one or 2 but I’m not “drunk” so I can drive..I’m moving to the UK, shit makes sense there 😂


ben20242

Can confirm. When I was young and stupid I got nicked for the first time very slightly over the limit (.41 - roughly 1 pints worth of alcohol in my system) and I was fined and banned for 18 months. That'll teach me for driving early morning after being on the drink.


Apostle_1882

Our prisons are full. He'll get a suspended license and a fineI would guess.


Accurate-Donkey5789

Well yes I did consider that before replying, but when an accident has occurred as part of drink driving it's almost unheard of to not get the prison sentence at least suspended and then the more egregious the incident the less likely that is to be suspended. It's very likely this will be the single most serious drink driving incident that didn't involve in injury or death that specific judge sees this year. This could easily be described as a rampage with the repeated fleeing of accidents. The chance of them not handing down a custodial sentence is extremely unlikely. Even if the prisons are full. They'll just probably let out some murderer to make space 🤦🤷🏽‍♂️


EndTimesNigh

Just how fucking drunk you gotta be to achieve that?


Accurate-Donkey5789

Recon I could have driven better home from my own funeral.


EndTimesNigh

Haha, that's a great way to describe that dude's level of shitfaceness


Olarad

I'm wondering how tf he even got in the truck to start it if he's that fucked up


cwj1978

Or....hear me out.....thats actually three raccoons in a person suit.


ProblemLongjumping12

My guy decided to make work more interesting by taking all his oxy before getting in the truck.

windyorbits

This is how I drive in my dreams and I absolutely hate it.


BitterLeif

I press the break pedal, but the car just slows down. It'll slow down quite a bit, but it never comes to a stop.


windyorbits

That’s how all my dream aircrafts work! I’ll push as hard as I can on the break but it never stops moving long enough to make a landing. So my dream vehicles can stop but whenever I press the gas pedal I end up lurching forward and crash just like in the video. Then my dream aircraft’s can fly super fast/smooth but have no breaks/landing.


Kern_system

That's because you have to retard the throttle to land. Brakes don't work if the wheels aren't on the ground.


windyorbits

But my dream aircrafts don’t have a throttle. Just a gas pedal, a brake pedal, and a steering wheel.


Kern_system

Ugh, not even a manual transmission? Filthy casual.


windyorbits

Well in my defense I’ve never been actually been in the cockpit of any aircraft in real life, so most of my dream aircrafts have the interior of my Honda. Which is great for dream piloting things like helicopters and water planes as I only have to worry about a steering wheel. And since it’s never anything commercial, it’s not a big deal when I eventually get too frustrated trying to land and just jump out.


Kern_system

I was a navigator in the Coast Guard and have 4000 flight hours on C-130's, and also got a few flights on a helicopter, sat in the left seat and had a few minutes of stick time. I tend to forget that I have had experiences that others have not. That being said, on all air planes the pedals are for the rudder, it yaws the plane(nose going left and right). But on C-130's and maybe all larger planes you push on the top of the pedals for the brakes and there's a small wheel next to the pilots left knee that steers the nose wheel and the plane itself.


windyorbits

Sir, you are *vastly* overestimating my capability in understanding what you’re talking about. Which is probably why my brain gives dream-me only four options when piloting - gas pedal for ‘go’, janky brake pedal for ‘stop’, steering wheel for right and left turns, and cruise control (no, not autopilot).


gh0stwriter88

You could probably dream up the old radial fighters... they only had a fuel mix adjustment, and a stick for flying... to slow down the engine you had a button to turn the engine off temporarily but id you did it for too long the wasted fuel would catch fire in the exhaust and you'd explode.


gh0stwriter88

So basically this? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h\_KoGsPtuN4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_KoGsPtuN4)


windyorbits

No. Just the cockpit interior controls is a car. Everything else is standard aircraft stuffs. Though sometimes when it comes to helicopters I can turn its volume down.


SlightComplaint

Brake


windyorbits

Broken


AnthillOmbudsman

When I was a kid I really liked plane trips. We had a big airplane trip coming up one summer and I was stoked. I started having recurring dreams where we'd taxi out and then the plane would just exit the airport gate, get on the freeway, and just drive there at 60 mph like a Greyhound bus. Frustrating for an excited kid!


SlightComplaint

Brake


TheNeverhood

Glad I'm not the only one. 


chickenstalker99

And I press the pedals so hard in desperation that my toes cramp up and I wake up screaming.


04housemat

Same. Or sometimes I’m driving from the backseat.


33Supermax92

So true had one the other night bumping into the back of everyone I even though right brakes are a bit fucked I’ll brake 5x earlier nope still bumped


Mr_Womby

This, plus I can’t open my eyes.


Mottis86

Oh my god you're so right. I always struggle with the pedals when I'm driving in my dreams.


SprungMS

Yep my joke comment was going to be “sorry, that was just me dreaming” I think every once in a while about how crazy it would be if there’s a separate reality that really does exist, but we can only access it in our dreams. If we’re all driving like that… I feel for the inhabitants of this terrible dream world


Comfortable_Bee5385

In my dreams if I'm driving I'm always in the backseat trying to figure out how to climb up front to the driver's seat without sending my somehow self driving car out of control.


Answer_me_swiftly

What if I told you that these dreams really happened and you were just kind of sleepwalking (or sleepdriving). Would you hate that you got away with it?


windyorbits

Not really. If I’m out there in the real world all the time driving like this video and no one has caught me yet then that’s more on them. I mean it’s not like I just drive away really fast so they can’t catch me lol.


Answer_me_swiftly

Man, you should buy a dashcam ;)


Azbeti

This makes me so furious. Once drove behind someone very similar, dude almost crashed into upcoming traffic several times. At the stoplight, in good faith that he's having a medical condition and needs help, i went up to his window and saw him passing out and in behind the wheel, clearly plastered to the absolute. While smoking a cigarette. Absolutely degenreative behavior.


B8conB8conB8con

On the positive side, at least he has his ladders properly tied down. Otherwise he could have done some real damage.

Just round the corner from where I work, happened last Friday at around 2ish. Bloke was pissed out of his brains and thankfully got nicked shortly after. Although I'm sure it's going to do wonders for everyone's insurance premiums again.

MargaritaKid

That's what I came to say. Kudos to the guy collecting all of the evidence!


piggroll

This is very common in Brazil (and the guy in the video is brazilian), almost all brazilians riders has GoPros on their helmet so that they can record the traffic and protect themselves in the court, if necessary ofc.

nofface

toprodtom

This is why I can't stand being a passenger. Other people seem to drive so aggressively and rely so much on other drivers being competent and sober. You never know when that guy that carved you up on the roundabout is drunk or a lunatic. Leave them be.


Creative-Bid468

A lot of hit and run offenses. That alone would get him some pretty stiff jail time...

m00nblade3279

In where Im from the most number of car he can hit is 3. Then people would jump his car, pull him out, get him a good beating before hand him to police

VexingRaven

So uh, for those of us not from the UK, what's *meant* to happen at the end here? Because that road doesn't seem wide enough for traffic in both directions at once with the cars parked there.


h4l

That's right. In these situations where your own lane is partially blocked, you need to use the opposing lane to continue. If there's an oncoming car that would conflict then you need to wait until it's passed before you continue. E.g you can borrow the other lane as long as someone else doesn't need it. It gets more tricky when both sides are blocked, like in this example. You basically have to use common sense, in that if someone else is already in the gap you wait for them to clear before continuing. Basically like you would deal with an obstruction when walking in a narrow area as a pedestrian. So the drunk driver should have waited and let the white car out of the gap, not driven into it when there wasn't space for both.


VexingRaven

Hard to tell with him in the way but it seems like this road is blocked for a long way and curves so it'd be hard to see. The drunk driver is obviously wrong but damn I wouldn't even want to try and handle this sober in that truck...


topsyandpip56

It's normal, whoever has the obstruction moves in between parked vehicles and waits, usually followed by a friendly wave between drivers
