I am a driver of large vehicles trucks and coaches, now being on the road all day nearly every day i see alot of what goes on the fact is if your innocent dont worry about it but as ive found ranting at an officer gives them more suspision and more reason to have pulled you, your just then fueling a fire.

I agree they should allow stop checks only reason is then more and more people may think twice about drinking then driving, there are alot of people who have been killed on roads accross the world because police have been powerless to stop and check the fact they have to wait for someone to die first is appauling, not only does it ruin some innocent persons life but yours as well and then it creates one hell of a riot because people demand answers especialy "why was he not stopped sooner."

Yes you may have had a drink and your honest and said yes officer ive had a drink provided you pass sobriety tests leave it at that, in the UK argueeing with an officer to the point of being disorderly you will be arrested for this and spend the night in the cells.

I do not in anyway condone drink driving i do not drink drive myself infact i rarely drink now im in a position where i have to drive all the time, i seen to many accidents on the roads friday and saturday nights are the worst because you can garentee some one driving involved has had a drink to many, and the thing that makes me rearly sick is the fact they normally walk away from it unhurt or minor cuts and brusing yet some poor innocent person has died or been seriously injured maybe life changing injuries and they have the cheek to go do the same again.

I personally think the offier was right to stop you i would campaign to have legal stop checks put in place because over here its a good way to cut down on drink drive and also other crimes, its how peter sucliffe was found and he was a serial killer, all it took was a stop check to catch him so it does work.
