Drink Driving Conviction/Coaching Kids

[Speedy1976]

What’s everyone’s thoughts?

If someone has just been convicted of drink driving, when they’re expected to be a positive role model, should they be allowed to continue working with children?

Would you be happy to allow them to continue coaching your child?

 

[dangermows]

Yes. They could just not tell the kids, who probably wouldn't give a shite anyway.

Also, plenty of coaches etc who have done wrong have been good at telling kids where they fucked up, and to not do it. Some absolute wrong uns have turned their lives around and their stories can inspire kids.

 

[KGC83]

Yes

 

[Barnacle Boy]

Yes
Is this to do with the Echo story from the other day?

 

[Frijj]

Depends on the circumstances like, but it won’t make them a danger to children.

Unless they’re a driving instructor.

 

[seanwharton]

Yes . Drug , Violent or Sexual offences no but with DD take the punishment, learn the lesson and move on .

 

[mcq10]

Yes.

Could be the day after a night out they have been done.

[Discopants91]

Drink driving is worse than most "drug" offences surely?

It was on the way home from the club presentation night.

It’s not worse than dealing no.

 

[Barnacle Boy]

Even more yes then

Yes and no. All about scale and impact tbf.

So fuck? Still yes

Yes.

Could be the day after a night out they have been done.

What difference would that make? The alcohol stills affects you the day after.

 

[Discopants91]

It’s not worse than dealing no.

As said above, depends really, could be selling weed to mates vs someone having ten pints and driving through a playground.

Depends on the context. Someone randomly stopped and found to be slightly over the limit with no harm done would be ok. Someone who was completely out of their tree and driving as if they were in GTA would be a no.

3 times over the limit.

 

[Barnacle Boy]

Pointless thread as the OP looks like he's made his mind up

 

[Al Bundy]

3 times over the limit.

That’s probably more than just a couple he’s had then before he drove.
