Message: [QUOTE="Scorchie, post: 3330288, member: 1947"] Drink driving is an emotive subject. It'd be far easier to just say "If you've drunken today, you cannot drive until 7am the next day" rather than relate it like we do to "one per hour" or some weird BMI calculation. Loss of 10kg in weight can affect your BAC by 0.01-0.015 without realising the impact. Indeed, some countries (UK, USA) seem to get along just fine with 0.08 as the limit and some have zero tolerance. I do feel that it should be 0.00 until you're 21 in Australia and perhaps slightly higher in when you're older (0.06?). But, to pull 0.098 - with a build like this and still drive? That's easily 5-6 drinks in. If QLD throws people into court for 0.051 under 'zero tolerance' laws established earlier in the decade, how can this be in the public interest to fine $500 and disqualify 3 months? If not a conviction, maybe it needs to be 12 month disqualification. [/QUOTE]
