Drink Driving Debate

I know here the limit is slightly higher than the EU average...but no surprise there as this IS Ireland we're talking about!

Artsimba. Why don't you think that that kind of law would be effective and why would its' result make things worse. Somehow we HAVE to make the adults (because they set the example) that ALL drinking while driving is not acceptable. If one knows that he is going to drive home after a party then he should wait until he gets home to do his drinking. We, as human beings, have NO RIGHT to put the lives of others in jeopardy just for our own pleasure. FORGET ABOUT THE ME GENERATION and start thinking about OUR GENERATION. Also consider this....gin and vermouth combine for a good cocktail.....that and driving could result in the loss of lives.

Unfortunately there is a clash of views when it comes to people in the rural community who say they know the roads like the back of their hands and can make it home. Most of the crashes occur in urban areas...and it has to be one rule for all....

I'll remember that advice. Thanks for giving me the best response.

particularly watch out for the boy racers!...ah sure you'll hear them a mile away anyways, they like to pump up the music! lol

No bother. Also watch out for where country roads meet urban areas. I've a sociology lecturer who's written a book on it - 'Collision Culture'...I would go into more detail but....!

thanks for the response..:)
