Drink drive ban to be scrapped??

Although I never ever drink and drive a zero tolerance is actually too low. Eating dinner could put you over the limit. Here in Ireland they are planning a virtual zero tolerance policy by reducing the blood/alcohol level to 50mg per 100ml for qualified drivers and 20mg for learners, novices and professional drivers such as truck drivers. This means that one unit of alcohol would put you over the limit but a liver pate wouldn't. The current limit is 80mg per 100ml which is the second highest in Europe.

Or a spot of sherry trifle I suppose!

 

I guess they'd have to work on zero tolerance being zero over a certain natural 'deadband' that might be caused by eating / mouthwash / whatever.

I dont take a drop of booze if i am driving. Even if i ahve been out on the lash the night before i tend not to drive just incase i am still over the limit! Its just not worth the risk, I would be lost without my car!
