        Zero tolerance would clarify the situation and avoid the rich getting off on a technicality because they have a slick solicitor

        Yes they are too high, you should not be allowed to drink any alcohol whatsoever before getting behind the wheel. Car manufacturers should come up with some kind of breathaliser device that will not allow you to start your engine unless you are completely sober

        how about this. No driving with alcohol? It just seems simple. Take away the ambiguity.

        It's common sense to not drive after any alcohol intake. Even with the law inplace, shame not many know about it though.

        No such thing as common sense. You can't buy it. You can't teach it.

        I am about to start a supervised detox on Monday. My doctor and a registered nurse will visit me twice a day during the next two weeks. They will administer my meds(including Antabuse), put me through some mental and physical tests. I really hope I can beat this addiction.

        Anything above zero is too high! Too many varying factors to consider on how alcohol will affect different people at different times. Should be Zero!

        Anybody should be able to enjoy whatever they want, however, as soon as you get behind the wheel you are driving a potentially lethal vehicle. There should be no tolerance for driving under any kind of influence (although it may be hard to police driving while being infatuated)

        If l go out for an evening meal over a couple of hours, why should l be stopped from having a glass of wine or beer, because some people chose to abuse the priviledge?

        They are lower in Scotland. It, once again, penalises the good. The idiots who broke the old limit still drink as much. The guy who enjoyed just 1 pint now daren't! How many accidents have been CAUSED BY someone who was between the 2 limits? ASK THE QUESTION!

        And how many people have caused a crash by drinking ONE pint. It will be a number of them. DRINKING - DO NOT DRIVE. DRIVING - DO NOT DRINK. To do anything other than that is SELFISH.
