Seems slightly harsh considering what some people get away with generally.

Do drunk drivers in the UK automatically get a jail sentence? What is the average punishment for that over there?

Minimum punishment of 12 months' driving disqualification, as well as a potential fine up to 5k and 6 months imprisonment.

Ah ok, so similar to ours here. Cheers!

He apparently refused a test. They're making an example of him imo.

I have heard that is what lawyers tell you to do, so there is no solid evidence you were drunk, but in essence by doing so you're admitting your guilt anyway. However I think that has changed now.

Yep.

Seems very harsh. Some people who commit violent offences don't get custodial sentences.

It seems like a tough sentence for a non violent crime

But at the same time, refusing to give a breath test is serious and drink driving does kill people

The guy should be locked up for his views on football alone

Officer bodycam footage.

He is definitely pissed. For our American gooners, that's drunk - not angry.

I am aware of the term. You guys seem to like the word "piss" a lot.

"Lets have a piss up"

"He was definitely pissed"

"Are you taking the piss mate".

Are you just a bunch of golden shower lovers or what?
