Thread: French drivers forced to carry Breathalysers

    Sounds sound to me. DWI can't be entirely avoided, but for those who would rather not and would appreciate the opportunity to monitor intake and avoid crossing the line, all the better as required by law... I am all in favor!

    A persons ability to drive can not be defined by such an idiotic standard as just blood alcohol content. It's too general and does allow for the multitude of difference not just in body chemistry, but also in experience. How would you like it if the government decided that the 'average' person had bad sight at night so you must now were special glasses at night to drive or you will lose you license, even if you can see well. That the same kind of generalization the government is making with the BAC laws and its just not fair to those of us who CAN see fine.

    While obviously I'm not going to make a generalized statement, for me .08 is NO WHERE NEAR the point where I can't drive safely or responsibly. For them to restrict my drinks with dinner or a nice night out because other people are idiots isn't how America should work.

    When I was in bizschool in France, one of the guys were drunk at a party and was driving home but wrapped himself around a tree and suffered some brain damage.

    I bet he had WAY more then 4 beers over an hour...

    My main point is that there are OTHER, BETTER ways to test if someone can drive, some are those are used now...Walk a line, hold up your leg and touch your nose, etc., You know, those things that ACTUALLY test someones ability to drive...the BAC is a farce and should NEVER have been included, it IN NO WAY measures someones ability to drive

    And it seems like until Ride does the same thing, he is going to be endangering people on the island or until he has to explain and sell his theory to a judge.
