--- Quote from: "Budgie" ---With regards to drink driving:
0% blood/alchohol limit on the roads, that way everyone knows the limit they can drink too and still pass the test and be safe to drive!

Agreed in principal;  but how do you deal with the person who has a few drinks on Friday night, and on Saturday morning has a small amount (less than the current limit, but >0%) of alcohol in their bloodstream?

I think the most effective way so far to combat drink driving has been to make it socially unacceptable;  to many (most) groups of people it now is.  I think they should re-run those "he's an as****e" adverts which were on telly a few Christmases ago.

Bill jones:
I agree with many of the other setiments that if you are prepared to do the crime you should do the time or ban as in this case.

gecko:
do the crime and do the time  

if you need to drive for a life or deth  thing then do so and admit it to the cop shop and see what thay say about it ..........

Sheddy:
I thionkk that in real "extreme" circumstances, anything is acceptable, not just driving while banned.

Take a look at the Gary Glitter scenario.  Caught once as a paed, do some time.  Caught a second time .... kill him, he'll never change.  Circumstances will always dictate the necessary action regardless of what that may be.

Easy: If you know you have to drive the following morning, don't drink the night before!  :wink:
