Would you grass on your family for £1,000?

[mrs_overall]

I heard on the radio that two police forces are encouraging people to report their family and friends who drink drive. There is a Crimestoppers reward of £1,000 for each person who is convicted.
Would you?

[ummmm]

No, never.

[2sp_]

I would report someone for drink driving without the incentive of a grand.

[bednobs]

agree with 2sp

[craft1948]

It's illegal to drink?

[echokilo]

I wouldn't need to cash incentive either - what price a life?? I might not need (and haven't in the past) to report them though ... removing the car keys is usually sufficient (provided they can't access spares)

[mrs_overall]

The amount of gin you put away Craft.....

[rowanwitch]

no need for the incentive I would report as a last resort... if they insist on giving me the money I am sure cats protection could use it

[2sp_]

I would (and in the past have) take the keys from someone drunk and planning on driving, but if that failed I would call the police.

[WELSHYORKIE]

Yes, I would - and they all know it too!!

[dennisb66]

If I knew of it I'd give them a good rollocking,but report them never.

[mrs_overall]

ummmm, just out of curiosity - how would you feel if the drunk driver then killed someone whilst driving?

[Baldric]

No, but I would do my best to stop them driving if I could.

[dennisb66]

I am of course referring to family only.

[tamborine]

As a last resort, yes. It would be after my threats, so they knew it was me. Am experienced at smashing windscreens & puncturing tyres ;)

[emmie]

not for money, but if i thought they were well over the limit would do my best to persuade them not to drive. If worse case scenario would call the police,

[NOX]

No but I wouldn't be letting them drive.

[2sp_]

To everyone who said no -

I think we would all try to stop someone from getting behind the wheel, but if someone snuck out of a party for instance, or you didn't know that they had headed off in the car - would you call the police then?

[ummmm]

MrsO, I would be absolutely devastated. If I were in their company I would do everything in my power to prevent them getting in the car (it has happened) but I wouldn't grass them up.

[NOX]

To be honest 2sp it would depend on how drunk they were, where they were going etc etc etc. I can pretty much guarantee that where I live you'll never see another car after midnight or walker or cyclist or anything like that and so if someone was mildly tipsy then no I wouldn't. However if someone was hammered out of their face and driving at 70mph through the middle of a city then possibly I would.

hmmmm, i live next to a pub, this could be a nice earner for me
