Bloody stupid. Are you incapable after two pints? I don't believe a word of it.

I know of one person who was stopped ONLY because one of his brake lights was dimmer than the other - but he was nearly three times the limit. The police freely admitted that there was nothing wrong with his driving, and while he was at the police station his conduct, speech, co-ordination, judgment, and social habits were perfectly normal.

It is my impresson that driving skills and habits have deteriorated to a major extent over the past 40 years: tailgating, drifting on crowded roundabouts, overtaking on the inside and pushing out, queuing and road priority failures - mostly by the "duff-duff" brigade.


Irrational drink driving and speed limits encourage disrespect for laws that are necessary appropriate and proportionate. Bad law undermines good law.

For my part, this reduction if adopted will pretty definitely reduce the amount I go to single evening events. Instead I shall focus more on events where I can camp and leave the following afternoon.
