I reckon they should increase it..... I bet I could still drive well after 6 pints.
Would save a fortune on taxi's at the end of the night too

zero tolerance. Thats how it should be.
Morning after...if you are worried about your alcohol levels...then dont drive. Or if you know that you have gotta get up and go somewhere the next morn, dont drink as much on the night.
Not exactly hard...some people really make me wonder! At the end of the day, driving is dangerous enough as it is...no matter how little you drink it'll have an effect on your ability to focus and keep your hazard perception/awareness up (although some people dont have this as it is!). Im also really looking forward to the smoking in cars ban coming in as well...waited for ages for them to do that!

or...leave the limit as it is...and if you get caught you loose your license indefinitely.
Thats probably a better plan. Get caught...dont drive again, because even if someone has done it and lost their license once, it prettly likely they'll repeat it when they are drving again 12 months later.
If you want to do that...remove the privelage of driving.

I also think people need to be educated better when there are tought to drive.
A friend of mine recently passed her test. We went out one night (i got wasted, she was driving, but had a few), but what she didnt realise was there is a difference between being drunk and being over the limit to drive. She had a few vodkas, still not drunk, but deffo way over the limit. She didnt understand why i wouldnt let her drive home.
