My view is that the above opinion is utterly ridiculous.Drink driving offences should result in a custodial sentence. I'd lock every last one of the utter ****s up. And yes I know it will never happen, Just my view.
The limit is 80 mg per litre of blood I think. What about a 30 year old experinced driver who has slightly misjudged things with a glass of wine that we a big larger than they'd figured. Say they have 90 mg and at that level is perhaps a far better driver than everyone over the age of 75 who can drive quite legally.
Sure if someone is pissed out of their head, that's a different matter. But saying drink driving should result in a custodial sentence is just stupid. How about custodial sentences for speeding, which can be more dangerous than what I described? Or going through a red light, that's *just* changed from amber? Where do you stop with this draconian nonsense? We'd have half the population in jail.
