    Good idea that !! If you fail just vigorously exercise until you pass, although I have a feeling that the car is disabled for a few hours.

      I don't appreciate people who don't take a responsible approach to drinking when there's any chance they will be driving.
      Indeed - I have similiar views for the same reason. I suspect for both of us the same word popped in there when we read this cretin's "contribution".

        There's a difference in everything except the driving laws.
        But being over the limit on Sunday morning is no different than being over the limit the same amount early into your drinking session the previous day. You're not drunk after one glass of wine but might be over the limit... though you can sometimes actually notice you still feel drunk the next morning, which can't be a good sign

          If ten per cent of accidents are caused by drunk drivers that means the 90% are caused by sober drivers. Perhaps our roads would be safer if we banned sober drivers !!

              The way I read SA question was that if you have a few drinks, then you dont drive because you know you are over the limit. But next morning, how do you know if you are legally under the limit ?
              or in her example, the morning after that ?

                With those kind of maths skills, no wonder you think your house is going up in value.

                  How do you know that you were over the limit?

                  Have you been done?

                  Btw, where's the "I've been out all weekend drinking with AndyW and I'm too pissed to read!" option?

                    Sorry to hear that.

                    What do you think about the chance of being over the limit on a wednesday following drinking on a Saturday?

                    Presumably home testing kits should be more widely available?
