"Lord Adonis, the transport secretary, expects an official review of
the law to recommend reducing the legal limit from 80mg of alcohol per
100ml of blood to 50mg"

He must love himself to think something like that up

*Shrug*

I can't help thinking that if you're going to have a drink-drive policy,
that should be: "No booze at all. Zero."

Enjoy that thought when you get tugged the morning after a few beers,
or on the way up the M20 after a TOGTour.

Yeah, well, the Friday night sessions on the TOG Tours are always the
killer ones. Saturday night is mild by comparison.

Seriously, I wouldn't have a problem with a zero-tolerance drink driving
law. If you know the rules, you can abide by them.

First, they came for the smokers.... then they came for the drinkers....

Exactly as predicted by the smokers, then.

I'm old enought to have forgotten how many times this has been proposed. ;-)
Certainly it seems to have come up many many times and nothing ever comes of
it.

Zero would be far too low.
The slightest trace of alcohol and you get banned for a year?
That's not at all proportionate to the hazard you pose.
