Breaking Decency Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 How do you change your avatar on here to one of the moving ones like yoda has? I tried to do it by copying the image URL and pasting to the bit I usually do for avatars but it didn't work. Don't. They're bloody annoying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Is it legal to drink on a private hire coach? Sadly, yes. Just tip the driver and he'll keep on turning a blind eye though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffcsam Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Is it legal to drink on a private hire coach? Don't think so but I could be wrong. Anytime I have been on one, we were told to hide our booze incase we got stopped 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly isn't legal to drink on a coach enroute to football. What about on the way back from football? Why is it illegal when you can happily drink away on public trains and buses but not private ones? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calum_gers Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) I assume you mean sadly it is illegal? What about on the way back from football? Why is it illegal when you can happily drink away on public trains and buses but not private ones? I don't know, but our supporters buses regularly get searched for booze. It's not just football, it's any sporting event in Scotland. I'm sure someone will have the relevant law to hand.

vikingTON Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) You can drink on public buses? The driver might be ignorant or turn a blind eye (or bottle it) but I always thought that was illegal.

The driver might be ignorant or turn a blind eye (or bottle it) but I always thought that was illegal. It's a while since i've been on one, but isn't there always an announcement at the start of Megabus journeys stating that if you're caught drinking that you're off the bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The driver might be ignorant or turn a blind eye (or bottle it) but I always thought that was illegal. I was guessing to be fair as i never get buses. You most certainly are allowed to bevy on trains so i didnt see what buses would be different. MegaBus type buses i would have thought you could drink on. Could be wrong mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You most certainly are allowed to bevy on trains so i didnt see what buses would be different. MegaBus type buses i would have thought you could drink on. Could be wrong mind. I believe the reason you are allowed to drink on trains is that you will never be in contact with the driver, whereas on a bus a pissed up football/rugby fan could easily distract the bus driver and cause an accident. However, it is legal as a passenger in a car to drink whilst the car is in motion. I've also heard that as it is Network Rail that actually own the tracks they can put in place whatever rules they wish, whereas First Bus/Megabus etc... don't own the roads so you have to go with the laws that the Police enforce, or something like that. In saying all that though, our driver always lets us drink on our bus (although it hardly ever runs now). I can only remember once in about seven years where the driver has stopped the bus and asked for booze to be stored until we got off. EDIT: Should also add our driver has no problem in people smoking/doing drugs etc... Edited February 25, 2011 by Adam 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpaty Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I've drank many times on a Megabus without any hassle, and only once has the driver said anything about alcohol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that makes sense although being allowed to drink as a passenger in a car is a bit of a strange on although youre unlikely to attack your mate who is driving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's also been my theory for a while though. I wonder which law allows police to raid booze on supporters buses then even if the driver on the public coach was happy for them to drink on it? Some clause on sporting events or nipping future trouble in the bud? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
