It is never legal to drive drunk, under any circumstances.

However, if you are arrested the circumstances will be taken into consideration depending on the details. If you found yourself in that situation you should only drive far enough to get away from your assailant and stop and get help.

How drunk is too drunk to drive?

Any drunk is too drunk to drive. Even at less than twice the legal limit (almost drunk) even if you're too tired... DO ... NOT.... ATTEMPT... TO.... DRIVE....!!! Even after two or three drinks a person's reflexes, vision, coordination, etc., may be affected enough to prevent them from driving safely. A person who is intoxicated doesn't realize they are drunk; they think they are just as sober as one who has had nothing to drink. So anytime you plan to go to clubs, bars, etc., always have a designated driver or call a cab. A life (or lives) is NOT worth the risk; just ask the millions of people who have lost a loved one due to drunk driving.


Who do you sue if you were assaulted on a foreclosed property the foreclosed owner or bank who owns?

They aren't responsible, how about the person who told you to be there or the person who assaulted you. Maybe nobody. The bank is the legal owner of the property. The former owner has no rights to the property and therefore is not liable. But the first person you should sue is the person who assaulted you, unless they assaulted you in relation to trespassing on a foreclosed property, in which case, you have no case. Consult a Lawyer.

What is the fine for drunk driving in England?

The offence of being in charge of a vehicle while over the legal limit or unfit through drink carries a maximum fine of £2,500. Never 'sleep it off' in your car or go out on the razz with your car keys, as you can be done for this offence even if you did not intend to drive. The offence of actually driving while over the legal limit or unfit through drink carries an unlimited fine.
