Beat me to it.
Wish the punishments for drink-driving (especially if you hit/kill someone) were more severe so it was even more of a deterrent...
Every sentance is lenient in this country and shocking.
I feel sorry for all the drink drivers who do it safely without ever hurting anyone. It's the idiots who drive too fast when they're pissed who give all the sensible drink drivers a bad name
The problem for me is that the rate at which your body breaks down the alcohol is different per person. There's no guidance as to what could put you over the limit.
I could have 2 glasses of wine with my dinner at 7pm and feel fine at 11pm but not sure if I'd be legally allowed to drive.
it's such a grey area in accurately trying to calculate if you meet the legal requirement and is probably best to stay off if driving
The UK is generally well-behaved about drink-driving. It seems to be a very different story in the U.S. - it's utterly illegal of course but there's nothing like the stigma attached. People who aren't generally utterly irresponsible in any other aspects of their lives think nothing much about driving home after a few strong ones and you see some very wobbly driving going on if you're driving around late at night.

Ok Ernestine , prove that 99% would disagree with me and I don't mean a poll on here as we know everyone would want to prove me wrong so would vote in your favor just for the fun of it.

Zero tolerance on any alcohol and driving in Czech. Simple then
I tend to agree with that. One of the issues here is the mentality of "oh I've only had a couple of pints, I'll be alright" simply because the law, as it stands, allows that. If the law was zero, it removes any doubt about whether or not you should get in your car.

Unbelievable twaddle of the highest order, you should be ashamed of yourself.
