.94 bac? Doesn't the law say .10 is the legal limit?

higher bad lower good.

duh

Let me rephrase: doesn't the law say . 10 BAC is the point at which penalties apply?

Turns out it's not, anyway.

I have met this guy before ,he seemed very likable and had a smoking hot girlfriend.
He must have been really drunk! People do crazy thing while under the influence of alcohol.
He will have to pay and will learn from this I am sure.

I'm sure he's a top bloke

Yeah, another "top bloke" - drink driving scum who when caught was unable to pay the price but instead threw the equivalent of a 3 year old's tantrum in a jail cell - top bloke, indeed, when they let him out - he can move to Sihanoukville where he'll fit in perfectly.
