Rumour Dane Swan ooops!!

[Wayne Dwop]

FORMER Collingwood star Dane Swan has been allegedly caught drink driving the morning after appearing on the AFL Footy Show’s Grand Final edition, the Herald Sun reports.

Police reported a 34-year-old Prahran man returned a positive breath test of 0.054 on Friday morning. He was fined $484 and had his licence immediately suspended for three months.

“He was accompanied to a nearby police station where he returned a blood alcohol concentration reading of 0.054. The man received a $484 fine, had his licence immediately suspended for three months and will be required to have an alcohol interlock device,” police said.

More to come.

.054 is very unlucky! Another hour and he would be ok. Probably makes no difference either

 

[The_Eagles]

Did him a solid and didn't swab him

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Who cares

 

[smasha]

Nothing to see,move along.

 

[hamohawk1]

Don't condone it but gee 0.054 is stiff. Another half an hour and he most likely would've been fine.

 

[Slartibartfast]

One souvlaki away from keep on driving sir.

In other parts of the world it’s 0.08 so he’d be fine. Still stupid and we all know the rules as they are here but this is barely news.

We are in a nanny country though. 0.054 would not affect anyone's ability to drive

Good lad - taking the focus off Liam Ryan so the kid can focus on his Grand Final prep.

I got done ,I kid you not 0.051 still got the print out. Coppers were taking me back to the station and some knob did a burnout in front of cop car.The coppers said wtf the knob is more dangerous than me.Got put on a good behaviour bond so I kept my licence. I had 3 quick stubbies in 40 degree heat helping builder do a reno. Missus wanted pizza.ffs. end of day my fault.

That 'knob' deserves to be called something nicer! So did they just dump you on the side of the road where they pulled the knob over and let you make your own way back to your car? Hope you didn't cop it too much for bringing home cold pizza

You kind of get an extra hour though don't you - the time from roadside to the test at the station - so he was probably a bit more initially.

Still pretty unlucky and agree you aren't really impaired at .05 - people are worse when they haven't slept enough. Sounds like a case of a big night beforehand.

Then everybody clapped. That clap's name? Albert Einstein.

nah they still took me in and the hoon got away

 

[1970crow]

At 0.054 he'd be less dangerous on the road than nearly every 80-odd year old with a license. But, it's an arbitrary system.

And the raps keep coming...stayed tuned.
Who whodda thought

Not necessarily. His BAC may have still been on the rise.

I think that has effectively been disproven in a lot of simulations. A lot does depend on the individual.

Doubt it. From the sounds of it Swanny had a big night and stupidly got behind the wheel the next morning

If he crashed into your mum's car and put her in hospital, are you:
a) Thinking he was just unlucky to blow 0.054 and it probably had no impact on the accident? Or,
b) Wanting to take a swing at the guy for driving over the limit?

Perspectives can easily shift if you've been involved with a drink driver.

At 0.054 he'd be less dangerous on the road than nearly every 80-odd year old with a license. But, it's an arbitrary system.

You've got to draw the line somewhere though. If the line was 0.08 and Swan blew 0.084, some people would still be saying he was unlucky. Once the line is drawn, it gets enforced. How could it be any other way?

Still pretty unlucky and agree you aren't really impaired at .05 - people are worse when they haven't slept enough. Sounds like a case of a big night beforehand.

How do you know he wasn't impaired? You a neurologist? And since you bring up sleep: Swan has a big night on the booze - do you think he got a good night's sleep? Clearly it wasn't a long enough sleep to process the booze he drank. So you've got 0.054 plus tiredness, isn't that becoming impaired by now? Would you let him drive your kid home?

 

[FuManchu]

Not necessarily. His BAC may have still been on the rise.

Not 8+ hours after getting into bed. He probably peaked at 3-4am and was declining from that point. He probably didn’t think too much about being over after a sleep. He’ll be wiser for it.

Mistakes happen but if you Blow over the limit your a idiot, simple.
