If that's correct I doubt it'll be more than a 12 month ban and an enormous fine (they means test the fines now). I just know. If you go back about 5 hours and a lot of pages on this thread you can see I mentioned something a long time before the story broke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL have this service as an organization. There’s a number you’re given that you can call at anytime anywhere and they will dispatch a limo to you, free of charge.

This is a pretty stupid comment - it’s a sensible comment but it isn’t the law, you can drive after 1 drink legally and it wouldn’t affect a person either. think he will be fined and apologise , depending on how severely he was over etc and the circumstances I think there is a spectrum of how much of a dick he’s been Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a bit daft too. Drink affects everyone differently and someone could have ‘one’ and be very drunk (just as someone else could have more and be fine). Depends on tolerances, tiredness, body composition/weight, other food and drink consumed and various other things. The issue being that having ‘one’ and driving isn’t illegal- BUT you have to take responsibility and know how it affects you after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very first sentence of your article on Brazil “Despite a longstanding commitment to improving road safety, Brazil’s numerous initiatives have suffered from weak enforcement.“ The law and the general morale compass of a country is a complete separate thing. I can tell you it’s absolutely standard, and no one would bat an eye if you had 3 drinks and drove in the US. I’ll reiterate that it’s not something I would do, but it’s absolutely common as muck over here and no one really cares. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theregulars Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) The life-risking stuff is a bit OTT until we know that he was genuinely impaired. There can be a difference between what your body is perfectly able to do with a certain amount in your system vs the point at which the law (necessarily) draws a mathematical line. The stupidity is, absent further information, needlessly attracting negative headlines. It’s not beyond the realm of reason that he thought, for example, 3 beers is fine to drive on. None of us know what he knows or what his physical reactions to different quantities of alcohol are. I expect he’ll miss a match and get fined if Howe is of the view that he knew, or should have known, better and that will be case closed in public.
