Charlie Endell Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 To be fair, I now think it's a good idea. I had an all-day sesh yesterday and the car will be staying firmly garaged today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShedTA Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 My wife went to halford to try and pick up a breathalyser, really just for the next day so we can be sure wwe are not over the limit, none available - all sold out. plenty of breathalysers but all set to english limit and just a yes or no rather than a reading given. what a crock of sh8te. I mean either halfords have compeltely missed a trick or else the supplying companies have. but as we are now effectively same as europe surely there will be european ones they could have got hold of. scotland once again just an afterthought.

Lamia Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I haven't read the entire thread so this point may have been made. Regardless of the stats on accidents with those in the gap between the old and new limit I think a positive of this is that people will think more carefully about driving the next day. I honestly believe that there will be many people who have driven the next day over the current limit and think that they might give much more consideration to this from now on. I also think it is a good idea to stop people having anything to drink - I would never have done so when driving because I know that even 1 drink has an affect. I think people who say it doesn't are in denial to be honest. There is also an awful lot of whataboutery going on about things like drving when you are tired or impared in some other way. This doesn't mean you shouldn't tackle alcohol and if you are impaired because of something else you equally shouldn't be driving and could be prosecuted for it.

I've ordered one direct from the manufacturers & they are currently out of stock as well. The delay is apparently because each unit is individually calibrated.

I drive better after a couple of pints. From now on the roads will be slightly less safe because I will have to drive totally sober. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenneth Farrington Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Do you still get folk who claim to be better drivers after 3 pints? You used to hear that one a lot, but not so much now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Aye. Me and Orra. You definitely concentrate more. I said a couple. Three is too many for me, but you can probably handle your drink better than me. I'm defo better at darts after a couple. It's probably only a question of time before we will get breathalysed before stepping up to the oche. A set of darts can be pretty dangerous in the wrong hands.

Ally Bongo Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Is there actually any stats for drink driving related accidents by those who were over the limit the following morning considering that 64% of drink drive accidents occur between 9pm and 3am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friends and family spoke about this last night. I don't know anyone who has a drink then drives - for me personally that's a no no. It was interesting to hear the 'how much can I drink then drive'? -v- 'am I safe to drive the next day'? The latter was the main concern for most. As for me, I'm blocked in the drive by 6 cars so taxi to work tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 It's definitely made me more cautious the next day - was drinking all day Thursday, Friday and yesterday - car staying firmly in the lockup today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
