One for the road

Grandad April 19th, 2008

They are talking about reducing the blood alcohol levels for drivers again.

They want to reduce it from 80mg to 50mg.

This is going to cause the usual confusion with recalibrating the analysers and people are going to get around the law through legal loopholes once more.

Why don’t they just reduce the limit to zero?  That way, if the analyser beeps at all, then you’re caught.  Simple.  One sniff of a cork from a sherry bottle and you’re fucked.  Make it simple.

And they should remove the licences from any pubs that have car parks.  That also will discourage drink driving.

I was thinking about this the other night.

It is amazing the clarity of thought I have when driving home through the dark country roads with eight pints of stout under my belt.
