I was stopped and breathalysed this morning
No problem, didn't drink last night. There were a shitload of company Xmas parties last night so morning breathalysing gives plod a chance to up the stats and get the bonuses.

in Scotland they dropped the limit to 50mg on the 6th of Dec.

I heard that.
There's a bit of a spat going on at the civilisation/jockistan border regarding limits as there's differing alcohol pricing either side of the border so people travel to drink.

Apparently the UK has the highest alcohol per milligram legal tolerance in Europe
Now not including Scotland.

however, Britain tends to be a lot less tolerant of people over the limit.

see, the morning after thing is why I opposed the change really.
I've never driven over the limit on the same night but probably have the morning after.

I'm guessing anything more than about 4 pints the night before and you're probably done now.

I wasn't flagged in but it wouldn't have been a problem if I had
I can't say it's a bad idea really - I have a fairly cavalier attitude to law and order but I won't drink and drive and that includes morning after.

All they were doing this morning was shooting fish in a barrel.

I looked at the stats
Approximately 1/6 of fatal accidents were attributed to drink-driving. However, if you look more closely (and boy, is this shit well hidden) you'll find that the stats include everyone that is in the accident that has been drinking. So, if at drunk walks in front of a teetotaller's car - that's a drink-drive statistic, even though the driver was sober.
On a lighter note, if 1/6 of fatalities on the road are caused by drink-driving, that means that 5/6 are caused by those sober bastards.

drink driving is inexcusable and unacceptable
Lol.

Does that make it acceptable then?
Make it acceptable and I still wouldn't do it.

I value my life. Never mind the other fuckers.
I might kill myself, then I'd be sorry

Not trying to make it acceptable
Just pissed off at the underhand manipulation of statistics.
(, Sat 20 Dec 2014, 18:17, Reply)
I'd put good money on the fact I'm a better driver after a couple of pints

You can manipulate them any way you want
I value my life too, and I drive a lot, and I'd rather not have to cash my chips in too early.
(, Sat 20 Dec 2014, 18:27, Reply)
they should shiv anyone driving under the influence of anything
including drink, drugs and house music
