    Thanks for the update, this was a very interesting topic. No-one wants to be a 'grass' but ultimately your conscience was pointing you in the right direction

    So 55 people are killed every week by SOBER DRIVERS? Prevent these non-drinkers from driving and road deaths would fall by over 83%.

    (J/K!)


    What a totally brainless response.

    Call crimestoppers on 0800 555 111

    You don't have to give you name, just give them what you know, (car reg would be brilliant)

    Glad she got caught, well done!!!
    We reported a neighbor a few years ago who got into his car after a drunken row. The Police came straight away and stopped him driving off, his partner then grabbed the car keys and the Police left.

    tell the stupdi person to stop drinking, and/or driving- god knows what tragedy could happen.

    seeing it go on and still letting it happen is just as bad, in my view.

    It may be worth having a word with the pub staff- police may react quicker if they call, to grass her up..?
