New Law in scotland

It's ok, I'm used to being the bus. It's just a ball ache when I finish at 1 or 2am and I'm still up at 6:45 to get her to work and the kids to nursery.

Back on this law though, it just seems like the average person is yet again being punished by having one of life's simple pleasures removed. Obviously this is just the way I see it.

Im sick of all this crap, sugar and chocolate taxes etc. etc... Next will be red meat, then coffee... They won't be happy until we are good little robots, sat at home only interacting via the computer, not crossing roads because it's expensive if someone gets run over, eating only celery because it's expensive if someone gets dietary issues. Blah blah blah.... Rant over

[PeeJay]

We're not biting because we know you know the true cost of drink driving. With you on all the other nanny state rant though. Marks and Spencers used to make wonderful French bread till they took the salt out, tastes of nothing now!

[ValeTudoGuy]

Man, Salt.... One of the most important dietary supplements for mammals.... Yet we can't be trusted to control our own intake.... What I would give for a pre salt reduced Chicken and Mushroom pot noodle.

As my work limit is still half the new limit it really doesn't bother me that much, The don't use zero because the body naturally produces a small amount of alcohol and with our limit people occasionally blow over because of listerine.

Yeah kinda what I was saying. Read a story about NHS workers who are required to use alcohol rinse every time enter a patients room being close with the OLD limit as over the day it had soaked in through skin and into blood stream

Alcohol gel used in hospitals is not based on ethanol but isopropanol.

You can drink as much as you wish and as often as you want. No one is trying to limit you right to consume alcohol, just alter your behaviour after you drink some alcohol. Please don't drive after you have some alcohol, because you potentially can limit my or my family right to healthy life.

Smells very similar to ethanol, so I am not surprised. I saw myself patients attempting to drink it.... good old days when I was working on A&E

Very eloquently put and I couldn't agree more!

I Will continue my one pint under 4% self imposed rule until the law changes. I have never been in any form of car accident and have never felt impaired..... But any time any of us get behind a wheel of a vehicle we could potentially affect someone else's right to life and that ain't gonna change with this law.

Bloke on the radio today said years ago there was this program called tomorrows world,they invented this car that everytime you got in
you had to blow in this tube if it showed we been drinking when turning egnition on the engine woulden't start.
Now to me that would be a good idea for our safety and others on the road if every new car had this gadget.

[ValeTudoGuy]

Yet they allow the sale of cheap shite tires...

Vilify people who are responsible yet have a small amount of alcohol and drive, what next? Can't take medicine and drive? Can't drive if your a bit under the wether? Install sleep monitors in everyone's bed to make sure they had a good nights sleep else they have to stay at home? Can't drive On a full stomach incase your too lethargic? Can't drive if you just had an argument with the Mrs? Can't drive home from work if you had a stressful day?

Well I just hope you all do your thorough vehicle safety checks before EVERY journey....
