Yes, after much (OK a bit of) consideration, I do agree.

Now, this is the thing. If I was drinking alcohol and not driving,
presumably you wouldn't have a problem? By the same token, if I was driving
without having drink taken, again no problem, yes? Similarly, if I was
driving after drinking, but not enough to put me over the current -
ridiculously low - limit, this would be okay?

But one little sniff over? Heh. Figures from the States reckon there's one
fatality for every 600,000 miles driven while over the limit. That gives me
a bit of leeway.

Shame when you have to point it out rather than just use it and sit back with
a smug grin.

Shame when people can't just accept it for what it is.

It could be argued the limit is ridiculously high. The '92 T&WA limit is
the same as the road.

The BR Board adopted the medical zero (30mg) for their safety critical
staff.

Without becoming a drink drive bore, you either drink, or you drive. You
don't do both. I speak as a train driver and the embarrasing uncle at
/whatever/ wedding.

Personally I don't give a toss.

Just hope all understand an 'average' pint of beer takes 2.5 hours to be
assimilated, (the usual specs say 1 hour per unit for 1/2 pint of 3%
Heineken). So the sensible *8* pint night on Guiness/Stella/Directors
you won't be fit to /drive/ until 17:00 the following day.

But there are variables within the strength of the drinks mentioned
above; Guinness is 4.1, Directors is 4.8 and Stella is 5.2. Oh, and
apparently Heineken (with the ABV of 3.4%) has been replaced with the 5%
ABV as sold abroad.

I'm struggling to think of a lager that would be sold per pint with an
average ABV of 3% nowadays, even the Carling is 4.1%.

We should bring back random breath testing. I thing it should be standard
procedure give a driver a breath test when being stopped by the police, for
any reason.

Did you just realise you had almost made a rational post?

Always a good put-down that one! Good schoolboy stuff, eh?

Now, all of you go away - the bods on this ng (classic cars) want to talk
about insurance costs, mini engine swaps an Moggie boot hinges. We've seen
and read all this puerile stuff before.

Is that such a good thing to say when Sir Tony's around...?
