Annual road toll up 44

"Drunk Drivers" are usually not "Drunk"

There is actually no defined amount that means you are drunk. It is on behaviour patterns only. The police cannot say you blew 500 so you are drunk you are actually over the limit to drive not over the limit to have a few beersies in the pub. You are correct

Which means that the drink driving limit is just another arbitrary limit with no basis in reality (in this case human physiology).

I'll admit that I haven't done a whole lot of research of late on this - but my memory is that a driver at the Legal limit (so not over) is 3 times more likely to be involved in a crash than a driver who has not had a drink.

"Lies, damn lies and statistics". There are "stats" that say motorcyclists are 20 times more likely to die than car drivers as well. Doesn't make it true.

This is KB ... who the fuck on here does reality ...

But ... until there is a change of legislation ... the "Arbitrary limits" apply ... God I love this free country ...

... You are correct

as (almost) always ...

And someone on a cellphone 5 times more likely?? but again no research

And I do not condone drink driving and do not do it. However the point is statistics can be found and skewed for any event.
