Changed my avatar to "Confuse a Tcoat"
This was the back of my name tag at a kite conference in '97. Matsutani Hideo san illustrated it (Japanese living treasure) I was his driver for the weekend along with his grandson who had some english. Hope he wasn't calling me a wanker [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzi3k7K0lFA"]Confuse-A-Cat ~ Monty Python's Flying Circus - YouTube[/ame]

Everytime I watch Monty Python it reminds me of Madness.

Yes, in this case it seems unfair but what if the guy wakes up, feels fine even though still impaired and drives away to kill somebody? If impaired here just do not have care and control of the vehicle.

@p1l0t, here's a fun story, and it's a short one. After a long day of work this summer, we decided to sit on the tailgate of our trucks and knock back a few beers in the hotel parking lot, since it was a beautiful day out. We were about 4 beers deep into our relaxing evening, when a fine member of the Ontario Provincial Police who was also staying at the hotel approached us. Here is what happened: Officer- Now I know you guys aren't having beers outside Me- (under the assumption that the officer is just pulling our leg) Of course sir, it's a beautiful evening and we're having a nice time shooting the breeze Officer- In that case, clear out before I start writing tickets Me- Seriously? Isn't this private property? What would the ticket be for? Officer- Drinking in public, and don't play stupid with me. It doesn't matter if this is private property, you're still drinking in public. Also, are those the keys to the truck on the tailgate? You better get a move on unless you want this to get a whole lot worse for you. So, ultimately, the cop decided to flex his power on us. Luckily though, no tickets were written, but he did strongly suggest that a care and control thing was going to happen. And, to add to the "WTF" of that situation, we weren't being loud, we weren't swearing, we weren't disturbing anyone, we didn't have empties laying around. Man, some cops suck. But, that's in stark contrast to almost the exact same situation at the exact same hotel, but the year before when an OPP officer came up to us and said almost the exact same thing, but made a joke out of it and said "enjoy your night, but don't be too loud" |

The judge may see it that way and be lenient. The officer has no choice but to assume that the guy could have woke up and drove away in five more minutes. Drunks, even those "sleeping it off", are not renowned for good decision making. As a pilot you should know that it can take up to 12 hours to sober up enough to drive. I doubt anybody sleeps it off that long. The right thing to do is to get a safe ride home and come back for the vehicle later. There is nor other reasonable alternative.

Yes. They must not be accessible to the driver at all. As I just said above drunks don't make good calls and if they can pop the trunk and grab the keys then they just may.

Now it looks like Alberta at least may agree that the automatic charges are not "fair" so in this case he may end up just fine. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgar...ence-1.4468021
