Tips to stop a mate drink driving?

I got this mate and he always drinks and drives, You know he gets something in his mind and has to do it!! Hiding the keys are no good because before you know it you relise he is out in the car, He has already had 2 DUI's Im scared the only way he will stop if he hurts or kills someone

Take a very sharp knife, put sharp end against the wall of a tyre and with sufficient pressure....... put the knife in, thus all the air to escape. Continue doing so to each tyre in turn, thus rendering the vehicle in a state no better than his..... not able.

Thereafter........... RUNNNNNNN!!!!!

i don't take drinking and driving lightly..call the cops on him..i've done it to my hubby! good way to kill someone! my father was killed by a drunk driver..he was just going to work on a monday morning and the other guy crossed center lane crushing my father the steering wheel hit my father so hard his heart exploded! i would do everything you can to stop him before he kills someone!!

i found the best way to convince drunk ppl that u shud drive instead is to be playful about it. don't remind them that they're drunk and can't drive, that'll just make it more challenging to them and (just like ur friend) they would want to prove u wrong.

instead, u need to approach it in a playful manner. here's an example, if ur friend has a new car, when it's time to leave, u can compliment him on the new car, and beg him to let u drive it for a bit. get it? always find an excuse to drive instead of ur friend. and like i said, never remind them of how drunk they are, it does nothing but make the guy more stubborn than ever.

go drive for him, or tell him to call a cab, or take the keys before he starst drinking when he knows hes going to get drunk.

keep calling the cops on him when hes driving, thats what my mom had to do for my dad because he had 5 DUIs and she was scared he was going to kill himself or someone else so she always called the cops on him, andeventually alcohol ruined his life, he has no home or car cuz he sold it all for alcohol and has been in jail and rehabs NUMEROUS times. some people need a huge wakeup call to realize it.

when he drives, call the cops give them his number plate and details and ask them to charge him and keep him in jail over night?

i'd smash the c-nt before i let him drive. better to lay him out then and there, safer than letting him behind the wheel.

you're not very good at hiding the keys, are ya? if you hide them good enough, he'll come after you. they always do.

- my dad's mate had been drinking and driving for years, i seen it myself when i was young. just before christmas he rolled into trees and killed his passenger. i don't think he'll be doing it again, he's got survivor's guilt like you wouldn't believe.

have some famliy and freinds confront him on it

call the cops on his azz... hehe


UCANTCME
1. Offer to buy the person a cup of coffee

2. Remind the person of the penalties (loss of license, ticket fees, etc.) of being arrested for driving while intoxicated

3. Phone the police, then stand between the drunk driver and their car until the local authorities arrive

4. Offer to call the person a taxi

5. Take the person's car keys

6. Relay a personal experience (if you have one) about the consequences of drinking and driving

7. If the person in question is a friend or family member, drive him or her home yourself

No matter which method you decide to employ, be careful not to endanger yourself. People under the influence of alcohol have impaired judgment and may not appreciate your interference.

You need to get angry with him. This is no way to behave in this day and age. Tell him that next time, you will report him to the cops.

give him a good scare. next time he drives drunk call him up in the morning and ask him what he has decided to do about "last nights incident" he wont have a clue as to what your talking about. when he asks what you are talking about say "you know, the accident" still confused you can tell him he pulled a hit and run and your job is to convince him and then take him to see a dui accident victim in the hospital . dont come clean until after the hospital trip and then you can tell him that it wasnt him THIS time but next time it could be.

some people never learn. since your friend has had 2 duis already he obviously is not scared of another.
perhaps seeing it in reality may wake him up. videos wont help. its gotta be real and in the flesh.

well you can do anything y like- but i can tell u from exp...hes not doen yet,,,he wont be done till eather he kills somebody else ofr ends up in prison, yes they can send you to prison for excessive duis

Don't just hide the keys. Pick him up, take HIM out for the night, and drive him home. Give him no reason to drive.

Otherwise, take the keys and hold them from him. If he gets belligerent, take him to the ground.

If you have a party make all the guests surrender the keys and let a responsible person be in charge of who gets theirs back and who's had too much.

This may seem harsh but if you cant get the keys from him you need to call the cops. If you care about him you will stop it before something realllly bad happens. He doesnt need to know that it was you that made the call. Yea, he'll probably get in trouble with the law but maybe it will make him stop. If you dont do anything and he ends up killing himself or another person you will hate yourself.

Calling the cops doesnt make you a bad friend for getting him in trouble. It makes you the best friend a person can ever have.

He needs to grow up and you can not do that for him.


Daisy
That's a tough one, I have a few friends like that they think they are invincible. I haven't found a solution to encourage my friends to stop doing it. I suppose you could just sit your friend down when you are both sober and let him know how serious the situation is and he may not be so lucky next time he decides to drink and drive. You could find a touching heart-wrenching story about people killed by drunk driving or bring him to the Mothers Against Drunk Diving website, maybe that will give him a reality check.


alwaysmoose
I had some mates who did the same thing. I banned them from driving and if they were going to take me along I was going to drive.


Devon R
well if you want to stop him completly scare him out of it by telling stories of how people have killed other people from drinking and driving and ad to live with that guilt in there life and if worst comes to worst and ur in fear for his life take his keys and call the cops ( not reccomended if u wanna keep his freindship
Good luck mate

call his mum, pop, or wifey mate and see if they will come and get him...


Jared
Tell him to stop drinking. He can drink only one drink each hour, but drink water between drinks until he gets full because drinking a lot of water makes you full. Tell him that he is wasting his and everybody else's life if he does this! Tell him to stop! Everybody wants to live right?
