Taking the consideration that some people could feel fine, be fine but there blood level might put them over the limit as the goverment are attempting to lower this allowance. |

So levelling it at around one pint’s worth of normal beer does just that. It isn’t about how much can be consumed in the same time that it takes to swallow a pint of beer. It’s about the alcoholic content of a normal pint of beer. I have seen people take two hours over one pint. I’ve even done it myself on occasions. |

As far as knowing your own limit - that is ok but too many people must think their own limit is 3 or 4 pints. |

if you go out friday night and have 1 pint and get breathalized saturday morning you will show up as legaly fit to drive under teh current laws and rightfully so but if they reduce the allowed limit and repeat the same procedure you could find yourself with a driving ban which is ludricous and will effect a lot of people if i go out for an indian meal at a resturant i dont want to have to sip coke with my madrass i want a pint of lager and i certainly dont want to use a taxi as i like to eat out of town a lot and i have a car which i will use for as long as the law allows it |

IMO, Its more pointed at those that go out and binge, or drink till late in the morning, then think that they are ok to drive in the morning after a nights sleep. |

if they change the law further it will prevent these decent people from having even 1 pint with their meal as they will be over the limit when they leave the pub or resturant |

The Law You MUST NOT drive with a breath alcohol level higher than 35mg/100ml or a blood alcohol level of more than 80mg/100ml So a blood reading halfed would be 40mg/100ml After 2 units 1 pint of beer 50mg (Approx)/100ml) Suppose its all down to individuallaty, I know One Pint (being someone who doesnt drink much) would effect my driving, therfore I stand by dont drink anything and drive. But I also agree with someone who drinks regular with a meal should be able to enjoy a pint. IMO the new proposed rulling is maybe a bit overkill. As already said it wont stop those who know they drink and drive. Where did the origonal information come from? |
Re: Drink Driving
While there are those who defend the current system, and those who don't, it's clear there are still a lot of people who can't adhere/know/guess/be responsible about it.
Drink-drive deaths are at their highest level since 1992. |

Re: Drink Driving
Cant beleive how pathetic some of u are for condoning drinking EVEN ONE pint & driving - just hope to god & pray that u dont cause an accident or fatalities to innocent people!!!!! I think the law should go to zero & allow for medicines as long as that states u are fine to drive, cos in meantime your playing with lives including your own.
What one pint might do to one & yet to another isnt in question the law has to set a clear boundary for everyone!! |
