12 penalty points ≠ ban

Thread dredge after UTFS and not wanting to clog up the reporting dangerous drivers...

The legal drink-drive limit should be lowered to an "effectively zero" level but such a reduction is "too great a step at this stage", a report by MPs has said.
The current level is 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood and the Government should aim, in the long-term, for a reduction to 20mg, the report from the House of Commons Transport Committee said.
The MPs described 20mg as "effectively zero" and added that any reduction in the limit should only occur after an extensive Government education campaign about drink strengths and their effects on the body.
The report said there was "little evidence to suggest the public would support such a drastic, immediate change in the law".

Who gives a shit? Change it! You think the public support tax rises / service cuts / whatever? Course not, but you do it anyway! Who gives a shite what people think?
