Charlie Endell Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I believe they have oxygen in those countries - should we ban that, too, lest we follow their wicked example?They have introduced legislation in relation to breathing oxygen ?

Guest faircity Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 They were sitting outside my wee village this morning pulling over cars at random, something i have never ever seen them do before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Bob Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Sometimes the only way to deal with bad laws is to deliberately break them, don't pay the poll tax, etc. So join my protest. I'm sinking ten pints tonight with my fellow democracy campaigners then we are all driving in to Edinburgh to meet outside parliament. (For avoidance of doubt - satire.)

Charlie Endell Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 If I can get out my scratcher early enough I'm going to get the car out and see if I get a tug - they're often on the prowl on Carmunnock Road. Had three pints at lunchtime today and nothing since - calculating I should be ok to drive by tomorrow morning... Mind you, pass the breathalyser and no doubt they'll be hunting for something else to do you for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 So if you get done for having 55mg in you, can you still drive in England? Stands to reason... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Endell Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 When this was first announced I tried in vain to find any evidence of fatalities caused by people with a reading between 50mg and 80mg. My main concern is that the police will (as usual) go after the soft targets (morning-after drivers - will make their figures look good) while the maniacs who pay no heed to any limit will continue to drive at night unchecked.

Charlie Endell Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I was out and about the Southside and EK this morning - disappointingly, no sign of John Law - there must be richer pickings elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Its simple. Don't have a drink. What ? Ever ? Do you think that having nothing to drink all day....then having a couple pints at 22.30, and having to worry about driving 8 hours later, is OK ? I think it's insane. Especially as the police will go out of their way to penalise sensible people by breathalising in the mornings. It's pish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 John Law set up a roadblock on Cathcart Road yesterday morning, but I've yet to hear of them setting one up at night. Has there been carnage on the roads the morning after for the last 47 years (when the previous limit was introduced) caused by people with a reading between 51mg and 80mg? I've yet to see any evidence. The hardcore will continue on their merry way at night while the marginally over (the new limit) will be criminalised for driving the next day.

Toepoke Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 My online helper tells me I'll be sober at 6am after drinking a bottle of vino from 8pm. Not that I'll be getting up at that time on a Sunday to find out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
