That seems a bit harsh..but I collected 2 dui's about 30 yrs ago so maybe things have gotten more serious since I stopped partying so long ago. :dance:

It is crazy but 50cc is a motor bike. The posties have bikes with that size engine.

In the US, you can now get a DUI charge on a BIKE or a lawn tractor!So bad that if you are in a bar, drunk, realize you are drunk and then go to your car and try to sleep it off.... IF you have posession of the keys, you are charged with a DUI! Yes, even asleep!

Then there is Canada where you can get one on a snowmobile. A buddy, long ago, took off from the bar in Watson Lake, Yukon on his snowmobile and the cops chased him. He took off across the fields to get away. Thought he was pretty smart. So when he gets home the cops are waiting for him and give him the ticket. . . Its a small town, they knew who he was.

From your start as a Greyhound driver to your retirement.... was there a noticable change in attitudes and testing requirements for drivers as pertaining to drinking and driving?
