New Law in scotland

[cigarmo]

So the oldies have got to move from Sunday to Tuesday?

they are out every day in St Annes.

Can't see what the problem is, not saying drinkers that enjoy a pint or 2 of beer can't carry on enjoying their drink
or a glass or 2 of wine ,but just don't get behing the wheel at the end of the session walk if not too far or get a taxi
your going to be safe and others on the road.

What about the next morning Tony, when you need to go to work? Or if your going further than is feasible to pay for a Taxi and your transporting your family?

Your still making the assumption that people under the current regulations are actually a significant danger and potentially incriminating a large portion of society who are currently going about their lives not endangering anyone.

Edit: but I do agree with the statement of "Can't see what the problem is." It's just that I apply that to the current regulations as they stand.

Why do you put coffee up your rectum?

If i was going to work the next day guy i woulden't drink the night before,
as for a taxi everyone might see it different some would pay and be on the safe side ,
others would take a gamble by not getting a taxi saving themselves a few quid but run the risk of getting caught.

Why do you put coffee up your rectum?

i'm actually unsure..... of why i typed that (not why i put coffee up my rectum). been messing around with this new office autocorrect and i've seen it's been actually less efficient.

One thing it does help with is that every time you spell 'defiantly', it asks you if you want to use the word 'definitely'.
I find it humerous that our work doesn't think people will ever use the word 'defiantly'....

[butternutsquashpie]

i don't think anyone who drives drunk does it with actual misintent. take the same manslaughterers in any daylight and there's no way they'd kill a person. (note. I'm not excusing them. AT ALL).

I think the majority of the conversations (pre drunk driving) just go:
"Hold-on... I shouldn't drive. I've been drinking.
Wait a minute... I shouldn't listen to myself! I'm drunk!!"

Plenty of reasons apparently.....

And I was accused of having too much time on my hands!

So then it is infringing on my right to put alcohol in my body.

and again, at the moment I don't have to take a taxi and yet I am not risking anything and am within the law.
A law change will change my legality and yet my life experience suggests that I will be criminalised with no good reason.

[Makaron]

I am not risking anything

That is just your opinion, research say something different.

It's an opinion backed up by personal experience.
Do you care to show me the research that counters it?

I Will read through it, thanks for posting. I have memories from my constabulary days of reports indicating that of all auto accidents where alcohol was a factor, under 0.08 accounted for between 1.3-1.6% dependant On year which the government extrapolated to equate to such a minor amount of total car journeys conducted by drivers at this alcohol level that they concluded that in 2002 it was not worth changing the law.
