The good reason is that, contrary to the peculiar beliefs of wild-eyed Brexiteers, the EC does not have any power to dictate such matters of law to its member states.

I think there is such a variation in driving conditions across even England its hard to talk about a safe limit. I have known guys that peddle home from the city pissed out their faces and locals down here that are happy to jump in their car and crawl home up the back lanes after a few pints. Which is more dangerous is hard to know.

That was probably where he was driving to!

So this is the solution. Stay in England.

You Southern softies usually lose it on the half pint, but just in case you don't!

That's why we have a direct line to Peruvian "craftsmen" to sort us out.

My chauffeur does the driving in any case.

AYCOTBAC?
