Probably worse being honest deaths from drug driving are shooting up compared to over the limit drink drivers.Need to target the stoners too.
So many cunts driving round smoking weed thinking that they have full control,bollocks,it's just as bad as drink driving.

Clearly that hasn;t worked and more measures need to be taken. Why anyone needs to drive after a drink is beyond me. Pop in to your local boozer and then walk back. It should only be 10 minutes.So we chose the lowest common denominator. If we have to live our lives based on that, we become a police state

Killed OR injured.6,000 bollocks. A quick Google search show an estimate of 260 in 2024.
"According to Drinkaware, an estimated 6,140 people were killed or injured in the UK in road traffic accidents in which one driver was above the legal alcohol limit"

Jesus H Christ. Wtf"The following countries have zero tolerance for driving while under the influence of alcohol for the general population: Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Brazil, Gambia, Hungary, Indonesia, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Libya, Nepal, Oman, Pakistan, Paraguay, Qatar, Senegal, Slovakia, Tajikistan, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, and Yemen."
Notice the link between most of those countries?
16 out of the 22 countries listed are either Islamic countries or under a dictatorship. Hmm how surprising.

It's about the limit, just like the thread title says:-)
The limit only exists because of 'pissed up arseholes'. People who don't have the mental capacity to realise that drinking and driving is dangerous. They don't even have the mental capacity to realise that drinking alcohol is hazardous to their physical and mental health.
Many people are thick as shit. They're not capable of distinguishing right from wrong. That's why we have to have rules and laws.
Drinking limits are much the same as speed limits. Idiots see them as targets rather than limits. The more accidents there are, the greater the need for reduced limits.
It's the best way to get thickos to either comply or simply get off the roads.
That's why I said it should be a complete ban on it.Yes they are don't be so fucking ridiculous, excess alcohol diminishes sound decision making. I think its was the bellend Jim Davidson who said if he wasn't.pissed he wouldn't drink drive.
Pissed up people do fucking stupid things. No shit Sherlock:-)
Reducing the limit has fuck all.to do with people getting pissed.

Fuck me this is hard work, why would a pissed up bloke who currently drink drives when fucked up and ignores the current limt because they don't care or are too pissed to see sense suddenly change there ways if you lowered tte limit. Whatever the limit these people will do exactly the same.thing.

You'd think so but reducing it in Scotland seems to have done the sum total of fuck all.The limit only exists because of 'pissed up arseholes'. People who don't have the mental capacity to realise that drinking and driving is dangerous. They don't even have the mental capacity to realise that drinking alcohol is hazardous to their physical and mental health.

Why you banning someone for having a half pint?

"Obviously"... says the self proclaimed expert.One drink obviously isn't.too many
It can depend on the individual and what the 'one drink' was. There's nothing "obvious" about it.
I'm not. I meant I'd be happy with it being a zero limit which is what I said a few pages back. I'd ban anyone causing death or injury under the influence of drink or drugs, though.Why you banning someone for having a half pint?

There is you can have pint of carling and drive, you can't have a pint of whisky and drive.
You are confusing drunk people and sober people who have had a pint. This oh no won't someone think of the children that man has had a sip.of alcohol is fucking hilarious

This thread simply reinforces the old adage "you can't argue with stupid". There are far too many pissheads on this site for us to expect to get a sensible response.
Don't drink and drive. It's that simple. If you can't understand that, you're a ****.

And there's more than enough puritans who don't understand what compromise means...
