I think your'e the one getting confused. If you don't drink and drive why are you bothered about any law that reduces the amount of alchohol in the blood while driving :confused:

Feel free to climb on the soapbox :)
 
Hello!! I would just like to offer my soapbox:D It's still warm having been used recently. But feel free to use it :D:D

whats working got to do with it if you have had a drink the night before u should walk or get a lift. Even so soon enployers will have the power to breath test ie driving fork lifts ect

As far as the morning after - if that level of alcohol affects your driving just after drinking it then the same level must as well the day after.

I will just quote myself on this subject.

It does not matter how long it is since you had a drink. If you are over the limit its not safe to drive. Thats why there is a limit and why people get done the morning after.
 
crabby isnt saying its ok to drink drive his complaint is that they are going to reduce the legal limit which is fine as it is and dosnt need changing.The threads been diverted by the im holyier than though brigade to make it look like anyone who drives after a pint is a drunk driver which is not the case

i took my car out last night , i got very drunk , i got a taxi home ,if i had have only had 1 pint i would have driven my car home because not only would i have been sober but i would have been legaly entitled to do so

if you think 1 pint is too much to drink then what else would you like to see stopped after 1 pint.

should we ban crossing a road after drinking a pint because according to you a person isnt in control of themselves after 1 pint , should it be illigal to have sex with somone who has drank 1 pint because they dont know what they are doing because of teh high level of alchol in 1 pint ?

not so long ago the legal level was 2 pints which if i am honest is hitting dodgy ground for some people who cant handle alchol but they did a lot tests and research which showed that 1 pint is ok so no matter how right you think you are there is a lot of research by people who actualy know what they are talking about that shows you are wrong

I know what you mean Crabby,if i have 2 pints at the pub at 6pm,then walk home,but drive to work at 6am,there could be a minute amount of alcohol in my system-does that make me a criminal?Surely some of you who go to the meets have cars,does that mean you dont drive for two days?

According to the RAC -
Over 1 in 3 strongly agreed that the legal drink-drive limit should be reduced to ‘no alcohol at all’

They must not have asked the working population :)

Earlier in the thread somebody said they wouldn't drink after half a lager because they didn't think they would be fit enough.

I don't even recall anywhere in this thread saying I'm right or wrong, merely expressing an opinion that I think it should be zero limit.
 
Where does it stop tho thats the trouble with this country, its no drink & drive policy but u are allowed to have a pint or 2:confused: thats like saying for the future no smoking ban that you're ok to have half a fag before u is fined:confused:, if its a no go then its a no go end of.

you have a valid point because when i go to collect my car the other people who left their cars have already taken theirs way before ive even got out of bed probably .

half teh peopel who are disagreeing with you dont drive and the ones that do drive i will bet my last pound that they drive the day after a meet or other night out

who was that then?

thats their choice if they now they have a low tollerance to alchol then they did teh right thing but just because 1 person has a low tollerance it dosnt mean everyone else has

ps:

i assume you meant drive after half a larger ?

It takes 24hrs from the last drink for alcohol to clear your system

Providing you have a healthy liver, it will take one hour for your liver to remove one unit of alcohol. So if you drink heavily in the evening you may still be over the legal drink drive limit the following morning.

Suppose it depends how Much you have Drunk.

but 24 Hours, must be a binge session.:D
