Then you wouldn't trigger their suspicion.

And I don't believe you by the way. Booze impairs your
judgment.

It calms you and lets you think more clearly.

You are deceiving yourself. Next time you go to the
pub, try not drinking. Then look at how the drunks
around you are acting. That is you drunk. You
are not thinking more clearly. Your judgment
is impaired.


You should not put other's lives at risk when
your judgment is impaired.

Don't tell me what to do.

When you are putting other lives in danger, they have they
right to say something to you about it

The rights of your fist end where the rights of my nose begin.


Those that do trigger their suspicion need to be taken off
the road. Drunk driving is arguably the main cause behind
the carnage on our roads.

No, **** driving is. Most accidents have no alcohol involved.

https://report.nih.gov/nihfactsheets...t.aspx?csid=24

In the mid 1970s, alcohol was a factor in over 60% of
traffic fatalities. Traffic crashes were the leading
cause of alcohol-related deaths and two-thirds of
traffic deaths among persons aged 16 to 20 involved alcohol.

Since the early 1980s, alcohol-related traffic deaths
per population have been cut in half with the greatest
proportional declines among persons 16-20 years old.

Reductions in driving after drinking saved more than
150,000 lives between 1982 and 2001 €” more than the
combined total saved by increases in seat belt use,
airbags, and motorcycle and bicycle helmets. Today
alcohol is involved in 37% of all traffic deaths
among persons aged 16 to 20.

It is a long well documented article.

I can remember the looks on those cops faces as a kid when they
had just comes from an accident caused by a drunk driver
and had to use a shovel (figuratively speaking) to remove
all the body parts of all the victims. These guys
really are our heroes.


Speed traps are all about revenue.

Agreed.

It ****ed my off that SLEAZY POLITICIANS have made these
heroes in to robbers.
