I take your point regarding the effects that other chemicals may have on the human body.. and at this point have no comment to make.. :shock:
However... regarding the idea of ringing the police to advise them of a drunk driver's location... No... it simply won't work. I have done exactly that.... back to police response times... not good enough..

If you phone enough times, they will have to sit up and take notice. Everything these days is monitored for performance figures, so if enough people phone something has to be done.
No worries about having no comment, DiscoGraham. Have we found mutual ground?

One would hope so.. Time, as they say, will tell ... :lol:
Lord Shagg-Pyle:
Touche, mon ami!

Again, one has to be aware that at some point the police will get fed up to the back teeth with someone calling in all the time and reporting alleged drunk drivers... and before long they would threaten with the whip of wasting police time .. or whatever else they could threaten you with... but I'm jolly well convinced that the one thing they would not do would be to follow these calls up...
Discuss.... :lol:
Or is that just the old bitter and twisted cynic in me... ?
Lord Shagg-Pyle:
I dare say that some of the calls received will be malicious ones, but I would have thought that the average plod on the ground would want to get their teeth into a drink driver.
From what I gather most forces now have a dedicated drink/drive hot line or the Crimestoppers organisation. All calls through those I would think are checked then actioned out. Its got to be worth giving it a go. One less drink driver is potentially one less fatality.
