Don't think many cars had five gears in the 1970s.
You're right mine had 4 and 1 reverse till they fell out on the road, you should know you're my age mate. Any how what has that got to do with drink driving?
 
An interesting story from a fairly highly ranked police officer, when Barbara Castle first introduced the drink driving limits, she was considering the limit should be half of what it currently is. But she was 'informed' by the big boss of Guinness at the time, if she doesn't set it a 5 units, she'll be looking for a new job next year.
Any proof of this?
 
In Scotland we have a lower limit, 50 instead of 80. It fairly makes you think twice, as 50 is very low...so better not to have anything at all really.
Would you pay £50 for a taxi the next day when you got caught and knocked someone down and could wind the clock back? I think so.

I have a breathalyser to check the morning after level and it is very interesting what results you get. I would recommend anyone who likes a drink in the evening to get one...not cheap, but keeps you safe.

BTW, most 0% beers are sh*t, but Nanny State by Brewdog is actually very nice! I buy it for its flavour, which says a lot, imho.

The Duvel triple at 9.5% is pretty tasty too, but it's hard getting out of the chair after a couple of those!

You must do a lot of walking......
 
Oddly, here in Spain they fine you, heavily, but don't take your licence away...

So I'm told...

but if the police stop you and find you are English they tend to walk away unless you have caused an accident...

Nevertheless, I don't drink and drive here either, for all the reasons Pete said earlier
 
So Simple really DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE
Yeah cuz u might spill it

Back in around 1989 whilst sitting in the dining room of my ex-girlfriends one night there was a crunching of the drive gravel and a crashing noise from outside. I shot to the window to see what was happening (my ex-girlfriend never moved). "Bloody hell!" I exclaimed and she said "what's up?" I said "your Dads just parked his car in the privet". The large privet between their house and next door had a Volvo sticking out of it. My ex said "He'll be ----ed again" as though it happened a lot.
Her Dad was in the mounted Police and had returned from a night out at the police club. She later informed me that when he'd had a drink, he drove home with his police hat on the parcel shelf so that he didn't get stopped.
 
My previous employment on a caravan park, we had a number of customers who would drive back to their vans after a few drinks in the bar. They always tried to reason it as being “on private ground, it’s ok”

It wasn’t ok, and we had to remind them constantly.

One of our customers drove in one day and flattened the entrance sign.

Another time I had to stop a customer teaching her 12 year old grandson how to drive

I used to let my 6 year old drive around the campsite sat on my lap in Broadway.......... he enjoyed the fun.

Barbados has no drink driving laws as I found out when my mate spun his car outside Government building after we celebrated hard and where "initiated" in to the Hash House Harriers and the Police officer just helped him on his way........
