The problem here is both your wording and the system.
Define what makes a drunk driver ?
There is no doubt there are thousands of drivers out there who would be more competent at the legal limit of alcohol than completely stone cold sober drivers...if not hundreds of thousands
"Drunk" to me, is someone incapable of driving, or as they would call it...unfit. But this same term has to apply to sober drivers too.
But if they wish to stick with drink, and terms like drunk, if they were in any way serious about it they would recognise there needs to be a tiered system of punishment.
But nope, that would be too sensible.
Instead in some places they want to reduce limits further. Seriously...WTF ? How many people in that lower bracket they now want actually cause accidents compared to the hundreds of thousands of sober drivers who crash every fucking day.
They are always dreaming up bullshit propaganda to target a minority problem, but completely ignoring the biggest problems, causing the most injury and harm..
It's no wonder in the past few years locally road deaths have been increasing year on year.
And that's not even getting into some of the TV adverts they've wasted thousands on. The best comedy writers would almopst be proud of them if they werent so embarrassingly bad !
