Thread: Lower alcohol limit to 0.02

NRMA are, as usual completely out of touch with what their members want. There is very little evidence that reducing BAC below .02 has any real effect on the road toll especially when most accidents that involve alcohol are high readings.
But it does make a lobbiest looklike they are doing something if they "Get Tough" By introducing a 0 limit.

Better off dealing properly with the ones that break .05

Anything else is just a money spinner.

0.05/0.02/0.00 wouldnt stop that unlicenced idiot that slammed into two houses today. he was 4 times over and driving with his 1yo in the back.

Agree with dork. Get the ones that cant get the 0.05 bit right and you might find that works a bit better.

G'day Folks

Couldn't help that!, BTW,the person that hit those houses whilst carrying his child and was 4 times over HAS NEVER HELD a LICENSE or so it was stated on the TV news that I saw.


0.05 or 0.02 it does not matter there will always be the fool that will try to drive/ride with a skin full, and risk the lives of others, as usually the drunker they are the less injuries they recieve

It is the same as those that were on that current affairs show about the drag racing, in the confrontation with the police officers, what needs to be done with some of those blokes(including the very vocal one) is to have them travel by police car/ambulance to fatal accidents, and to inspect the vehicles for the living and the dead and to see if it is one of their "real good driver mates" and I would assure you that after seeing a few bodies with missing limbs,crushed heads, internal organs external,and or hips torn out of the body(feet on dashboard) they then would get a much more real idea of what speed CAN do

Yes, I have had to deal with these things,and at an age of 23-25,professionally, also attended funerals of friends that were "real good drivers"


cheers

Agreed. Drive them out there, then get them to pick "John Doe's" brain up out of the footwell, and pop it back in his head, and tape the top back down so he can be carted away in one piece.
