All road users have a responsibility for their own safety and that of other road users around them, but the 'oooh, poor soul, got run over' thinking stops that and is often applied even when it happened in the middle of the freeway while he was shitfaced. After a few motor insurers have gone after these non-victims or their estates for the vehicle damage that happened as a result they might wise up, though I wouldn't hold my breath. Meanwhile the sensible majority of drinkers, who've always managed to enjoy the booze without getting themselves in the way of traffic, can be left to get on with things.<br /><br />Simples, and requires precisely zero new law, limits or regulation. What it does require is one insurance company or motorist to have the balls to begin the first law suit against a pissed idiot who caused an accident, because some of the meeeja will crucify them.Angry Exilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491082312193274360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-84780988641271823902010-05-08T22:15:27.597+01:002010-05-08T22:15:27.597+01:00*sense of utter despair descends**sense of utter despair descends*Ian Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15436369802742523036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-6963797870651631432010-05-08T20:35:14.590+01:002010-05-08T20:35:14.590+01:00This doesn't look like a biased study at all, ...This doesn't look like a biased study at all, given who paid for it. Of course not.<br /><br />And this is true genius:<br /><br />'The study's author, Paul Hutchinson, said.. "As one public health advocate put it, we have a blood alcohol limit for driving, why not for people walking next to traffic. People already have the power to take into protective custody drunk people who are a danger to their or others' safety."'<br /><br />So there are already effective measures in place to deal with the problem <i>without</i> the need for the police to waste their time breathalysing anyone on the street after 9pm then..?<br /><br />And you got your funding for this research <i>how</i> exactly?<br /><br />Oh, yeah, them : 'The Motor Accident Commission (MAC) is South Australia’s Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurer.'<br /><br />But, on the plus side (when they jump on it in the UK), I'd have to retire 40 years early as I wouldn't be legally allowed to travel to work.

But that happens at more than a few CAMRA events. You can imagine the rozzers hanging around outside the pub at the end of the monthly pub crawl.<br /><br />Even if you go home by public transport, it is likely to involve a certain amount of walking at each end.<br /><br />But, of course, it will never happen.
