I’m with Healy-Rae on the drink driving
Two pints is fine, unless there is data out there that says people with two pints on them are killing people – which I doubt
What kills people is speed, and the way that is sanctioned, compared to drinking is night and day.
Also, the way drink driving is policed is verkakte. Hundreds of checkpoints in Dublin, where there are fecking zero drink driving deaths.
Put the checkpoints in Donegal if you want to save lives.
And dragnetting people in Terenure at 8 in the morning on the way to work. Who’s dying then? Next to no one, but they can juice their stats and get the fines for the coffers.
This zero tolerance policy is killing local communities. And ruining lives.
If you want to treat speeding the same, I’m all for it. Take people’s licenses and livelihoods away. But everyone speeds, so they won’t.
Bunch of crap so it is.
