    So we don't have a Zero limit now.

    If we did. A true one. Virtually anything with alcohol could put you over.


    Look I understand you are obviously passionate about people not smashing innocent people up through preventable actions, but as a society we should look at what is the real driver here. Wasting effort in noble but ineffective pursuits won't do anything positive.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Aren't you talking a 0% limit over the current .5 or previous .8?
    All those products mentioned contain alcohol thus all those products would be above Zero

    not at all, this thread is all about a headline that is nothing, someone is pulled over with an open drink, no crime anywhere, just a shit like if they reported a man driving five km'h under the speed limit.

    As far as I know that is a crime, and if it's not, at that time of the morning on the way to work it should be and trying to justify it is, as much a crime in my mind. My family drive that road daily to work.....why should they run the risk of having an accident with that fuckwit? And therein lies the beauty of a forum,its about opinion and mine is as valid as yours in a forum. It's a shame for you that I'm right and you're embarassed by that.

    not at all, haven't driven in doubt for years, the breath tester is for the morning after as it's easy to monitor intake if i'm intending to drive, and no i don't 'drink drive' as i have a machine that i use if i think my level is questionable.

    what sort of monkies do you work with where they feel the need to test you every day, or is it part of your parole/bail conditions?

    Because the limit is higher than Zero...
    Do you think your car can't exceed the speed limit too because you pass a speed camera without it going off???

    We have a new lower legal limit inline with most countries, the 3 lives saved by lowering the limit has not happened. Why, because they extrapolated the 30 mg difference across the whole drink driving population, multiplied it with 1000% fairy dust. Those way over the limit crash, kill and dont give a fuck about any arbitary legal number.
    Did the biker that killed his passenger on the Pike River Tribute run consider that number at any stage of the ride?, or the possible likelyhood or outcome? No, and the newer legislation just picks the low lying fruit who arent the problem, hence the drink drive road toll increases.
    Then consider ... that being "Under the influence of alcohol" is a factor that affects a persons riding/driving. Most accidents (for want of a better word) are caused by more than one factor. Add a dash of speed as another factor. Then add another rider/driver getting it wrong near you ... and you have all the necessary's for an accident. The rider/driver not over the legal limit ... going a bit quick ... and another motorist does something silly ... and somebody dies. Then in court ... which motorist was responsible for the death ... ???

    How many lives were saved by those that didn't drink ... due to the new lower limit .. ?? You don't know. And ... have no chance of proving it (either way).

    Did any rider on any ride consider the pint at each stop wasn't putting them over any limit ... but the alcohol level in his system wasn't dropping. And ... afterwards ... did they consider the death may NOT occurred if they had not been drinking ... ?? The accident may still have happened if it was instigated by another motorist ... just not the same outcome. Or would it ... ???

    The simple truth is ... booze is still an important/common factor in (too ??) many road death accidents. Possible outcomes are always considered by riders/drivers that have been drinking ... but it won't happen to THEM. They can handle their booze ... and too good a rider/driver. AND ... they are careful ... too careful for that to happen.

    Yeah right ...
    When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...
