No it shouldn't, and there are very good reasons why this isn't the case.

care to elaborate? (I choose not to drink, and think twice about getting into/onto a vehicle with anyone that has been drinking in moderation, but recognise that there is a limit)

I would've called the police and waited there until they turned up, just to make sure he didn't do a runner.

Neither he or his bike was in a fit state to run anywhere.

It was the right thing to do.

If he does it on the bike you can bet he does it and has done it in his car too.

AFAIK most tests show that under the influence of 1 unit (I think) more people show an improvement than a decline in their driving. I don't think zero tolerance is the way forward myself.

I can only echo the sentiments of it being the right thing to do.

The only other option in my book would to have called them whilst there with him, but I can understnad reason for not wanting to be there in that position to be honest.

I have known some people who would have said "ahhh, but we're all bikers together ain't we, fraternity n all that", but it's not about him being a biker, it's about him being a ****!

The reason I did not want to be there when I phoned the police is because I didn't want him to know that I was calling the police and give him the chance to disappear
