Title: 1st dude of VIC is a drunk driver
Post by Gordon on Dec 20th, 2025 at 7:23pm
Ms Allan said Yorick Piper was driving to the supermarket in Bendigo on Thursday morning when he rear-ended another car at an intersection.

He was later pulled over for a random breath test and blew the blood alcohol concentration limit of 0.05.

Mr Piper received an on-the-spot fine and has lost his licence, which Ms Allan said would take effect from January 16.

Ms Allan said she and her family had celebrated their son's birthday at a local pub the night before and medication he was taking might have contributed to the incident.

He rear ended a car and still carried on driving. If he blew + the next morning after a night at the pub, he must have been totally schitfaced. What a scumbag.

Insurance doesn't cover you if caught for drink driving and crash.

Dickhead Dan skittled a kid while driving was he drunk or did he get away with it?

After he exchanged details with the other driver, yes.

It wasn't a hit and run.

He didn't know he was over the limit.

Moreover, it's perfectly legal to continue on your way once you've exchanged details with the other driver in a minor accident.

'In February 2024, Barnaby Joyce was filmed drunk on a Canberra footpath, after falling off a planter box while on a phone call, an incident he later blamed on a mix of alcohol and prescription drugs'.  Barnaby at 1.85m weighed about 86 kg, mainly beetroot.
'In Canberra, littering in a public place is illegal under the Litter Act 2004, with basic fines for individuals starting around $1,000, and larger dumping incurs much higher penalties'.

Yes. I thought of that incident too and how that master slitherer seemed to get away with everything!

I don’t like labor, I don’t like our Vic premier, but lately she’s had a couple personal hits like being boo’ed at and then her partner/husband lost his licence causing her embarrassment and she looked so sad, genuinely remorseful, and not all that confident smug hard headed as a politician does.
Then silly me felt sorry for her!
I said to hubby, “You know, I’m glad I’m a nobody, because the higher one is, the harder they fall.”

I didn’t know medication could give one a high RBT reading next day.

I’m on certain medication and I know it affects alcohol, I feel it after just a few sips. So I avoid it.
Except for limoncello, seems it’s the only one I can have and feel less effected by!
And yep, I finally finished making my home made brew recently!
Ready to share on Christmas.
But not driving on Boxing Day for shopping sales …. Just in case!

Blowing 0.05 the next morning is not an indication of drunkenness, the person is not affected by alcohol.
It’s stupid law.

Blowing .05 is not drunk, it used to be .08 but that limit was found to bring in less revenue so was abolished and .05 installed in its place.
Blowing .05 the morning after is NOT an indication of drunkness, merely another dishonest revenue raiser.

Strange is it not that the MsP who pass these laws can be pissed out of their tiny minds when voting on legislation.

Is that a traffic offence?

Did it have the capacity to injure, maim or kill another person?

Why are you in the main an inane twat?

0.05 & above is the law.

If he had blown 0.049 he would have been let off.

They should be under the same scrutiny as most of the Australian workforce in regards to drug & alcohol testing in the workplace.

Pollies should be made to blow in the bag prior to entering the chamber......

and especially(again) after their long lunches.

When there has not been a night’s sleep before the reading.
As all alcohol is banned on firearm ranges we took particular interest in testing the morning after effects, no diminishment in dexterity or accuracy could be detected, some people shot higher scores than normal but we put that down to trying harder.
On a personal level I tested myself firing 15 aimed shots in one minute from a single shot .22 and there was no difference, scores were the same, all within a 6 inch circle at 50 metres.
