    When you get the piss taken out of you for it, .......yep.......sometimes it gets a bit close to the bone so to speak.

    But hey, my bad

    Enjoy that, maybe rate it as self appointed points keeper.

    I expressed an alternative opinion for fucks sake...hardly a rant
    So that's what got ya panties in a twist. Well I wasn't taking the piss & don't find it funny
    But I do find it highly hypocritical that the physical impairment of lacking a limb is somehow "safer" in your moral compass than the potential mental impairment of a couple drinks.
    But see the physical impairment personally affects you so you'll "justify" the shit out of "how it's better", I can only guess alcohol caused the limb loss? which would be why you will "justify" the shit out of a "zero being good" regardless of rationality or lack thereof. If I am correct in that a booze driver put you in hospital, your argument would almost certainly be based purely on emotion & is what would be commonly called a "Knee-jerk reaction"
    In-fact if it was a drink driver that put you in hospital was he/she within limits? My guess would be they were well above again leading to the fact a zero limit is overreaction to a problem that doesn't exist & would again cause more problems than it solves

    In my opinion driving takes 4 working limbs & a working head/neck to do at full capacity so anything less than that is no better than a few drinks & probably even worse; automagics are already an impairment on anyone who drives them regardless of limb count (& so sayeth studies to back that up) so not having a gear arm or clutch leg with an automagic doesn't make the impairment a non-issue


    None of this is an attack or piss take on you, your physical impairment, or anyone else with an impairment. It's an attack on your irrational & IMO stupid 'zero limit' stance. It makes no sense outside of an idealistic "on paper" utopia, would cause more problems than you're looking to solve, & who decides how zero zero is?

    Yep, cry poor me, i just thougth you were ADD, then you put in why, that is your story, but that is no excuse for acting like a retard expecting to get away with it. You claim an opinion, then debate to death anyone that challenges you. Your lose of a leg is not a prop.

    All of your assumptions are completely wrong and opinions thefefore irrelevant but fuck it, whatever

    Whether you like it or not, it is personal attack and piss take....I never took a stance, I offered opinion and because it doesnt fit your views and you sense some emotion you keep at it. Knock yourself out, I deal with it daily

    By the way skippa, the only element that can be calibrated for zero is H20. Everything else has to have a reliable known small amount, and a known reliable larger amount. The measuring device is linearised between those sources.
    Therfore anything lowerer than the lowest source would be inaccurate and irrelevant, and used to be for a eba just say 0, which used to less than 150 on breath when 400 was the limit.

    Also why did the queenstoned cops not accept the reliability of the eba equipment that are used for evidential purposes, and because not, why should the general public not also question their reliability.
    Have you been drinking ... ??? And who are the queenstoned cops ... in which of your booze filled fantasy's did you find them ... ??

    What has the post you quoted got to do with the rambling above ... ???

    ahh, the classic response of ignoring legitimate questions and instead attacking the spelling / grammar / etc of an adversary in an attempt to disguise the fact that someone has found holes in your logic.
