I rang 999 one when I saw a blatantly drunk bloke get into a car and career off.
The police said thanks, but there’s not much they can do follow him.


There’s a scheme in Canada about dangerous drivers.

If someone drives like a twat you call or txt a certain number and report them.
If they receive several separate complaints about the same reg-number then they will act on it.
Exactly what ‘act on it’ means I don’t know.

I’d hope that the drink drive thing might do something similar.
Maybe if you report a drunk driver they will check the guys home address and have a cop waiting for him when he gets home to give him a breath test.

Good idea, but they still have to do something about it which most likely involves just sending a letter or a possible visit to the registered address when they get a bit of time.

Reported a very very drunk driver to the local police once while driving behing them, total disinterest from them so I suspect this is to get the calls away from the emergency and local police numbers and satisfy some kind of target.
