Drink driving...I cannot believe it
I read the news in Spanish and English just to make sure
Quote:
A man driving along the Pan-American Highway hit and killed a cyclist and drove approximately 17km with the body embedded in the windshield of his Peugeot 504.
A toll booth employee alerted authorities after she stopped the vehicle and asked the driver, “Sir, you are carrying a dead person there. Do you not see it?” García responded that he had not, in fact, realised. According to police reports, Garcia, the son of radio journalist Eduardo Aliverti, had a blood alcohol level of 1.45gr, almost three times the allowed maximum.
How he was able to drive under this conditions for 17 km after the accident it is beyond my comprehension.

Three points here
- In Europe only Greece has a higher casualty rate for road deaths than Ireland.
- The councilors seem to be Publicans so some element of self interest being in the public interest.
- They do not have the authority to change these laws.

Local authority wants drink drive laws relaxed

Kerry County Council is to write to Justice Minister Alan ****ter TD for permits to be issued to people in rural areas to allow them to drive after having two or three drinks.
Councillors backed a motion yesterday calling for a permit system to allow isolated rural people to drink and drive over the current legal limit.
Tabled by Councillor Danny Healy-Rae, it was passed by five votes to three, with the remainder of the councillors either absent or abstaining. Kerry Mayor Terry O'Brien said he was strongly opposed to the idea while Labour Councillor Gillian Wharton-Slattery said she did not want to be associated with the motion.
Councillor Healy-Rae, who owns a pub in Kilgarvan in Co Kerry, claimed that the proposal would bring back a social outlet for lonely people in rural areas that has been lost since stricter drink drive laws were introduced. He said it would benefit people who are "looking at four walls" and could help prevent depression and suicide.
Rural people are only driving on very minor roads - often on tractors - and have never killed anyone, he added. "Depression causes suicide. It's not caused by not being able to go to the pub," Councillor Wharton-Slattery told Councillor Healy-Rae. "There's more things to do in Kilgarvan than go into your pub."
Chief executive of the Road Safety Authority Noel Brett criticised the proposal, pointing out that the greatest toll in deaths and injuries from road accidents had been felt in rural locations.
