    Re: Beasley Arrested

    The tolerance for drunk driving in Europe is virtually nil. And significantly lower than our .10 or .08 tolerance level.

    A couple of years ago when we were still living in Switzerland, my daughter was crossing the street in the crosswalk and a driver almost didn't see her in time. He ended up hitting her -- her school backpack cushioned the blow -- and knocked her to the ground. Luckily, she was ok, just had the wind knocked out of her.

    However, the man had just come from the pub on his way home from work. He had one beer and he was fined about $800 and had his license suspended for a year. There's no playing about DUIs there.

    And in Europe, with all the public transportation, there really is no reason for drinking and driving. Bad move on Beasley's part. I hope he's learned from it.

    Drunk 20+ year old males in Holland? Sounds normal to me.

    I'm surprised at the complaints that this thread doesn't belong here. If that's the case, then no more links to Clint Dempsey rap videos.


    This is breaking news. It belongs.

    Article on this is on front page of ESPN.com, which is something that can't be said for about 99% of the "news" topics that are worthy of threads in this forum.
