After watching this item on the news yesterday I think it was, I decided to test myself.

I can close my eyes and touch my nose with my index finger OK. Passed.
If I try to stand on one leg I wobble even with eyes open. I practically fall over with eyes shut. Failed.
If I try to walk a straight line heel to toe I cannot. I can’t even do three steps let alone a few yards. Failed again.

Hopefully the cops will take into account a person’s age otherwise we golden oldies are going to fill up the courts.

I wonder how they would go on with a driver who only has one leg or none at all?

I appreciate that a drugged driver (including someone on prescription drugs that warn people not to drive whilst on them) is just as much of a menace as a drunk driver but surely the ‘clever’ boffins can come up with some test that will not rely on physical movement.
