I saw this yesterday but forgot to post it. Luckily saw it again today and remembered. See here.

I prefer to not drive after consuming any amount of alcohol.

I don't think these are a good idea as people may conclude they are safe to drive when they are very slightly impaired or perhaps haven't fully reached the level of intoxication required to trigger a warning through the stomach system but have levels in the bloodstream that are still rising.

I agree mate. I either drink, or I drive. Simple. The other problem with people doing it themselves is that they may do it wrong.

I wonder how long before it makes it's way over here :blink:

Clearly if you're goling to drive then don't drink. We all know this. What I find a bit saddening is when someone get's clobbered morning after just 0.5micro grams over the limit. An impairment test should be used in this situation I feel. After all, I know many people who do not drink at all and their driving is shocking. Seems unfair that a good driver with a high resistance to intoxication should lose their license on what is, after all, just a technicality.
