I would argue that current drunk driving laws are punitive enough in Canada, that this change would have marginal effects as a deterent. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 12, 08:40 1
- true, I hope they make the penalties much much much tougher as part of this (or even instead of in fact) -- nm - Beaker Mar 12, 08:40
the % of people you are going to stop has to be a very low %. - groiny Mar 12, 08:39 7
- All I care about is saving lives. Driving is a priviledge not a right. -- nm - zork Mar 12, 08:43 6
  - Then ignore drunk driver and just ban cars. Less than 1,000/year die in Canada from alcohol related accidents. Ten times more "regular" ones. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 12, 08:50
  - If I pass the driving test, it is a right that I have earned. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 12, 08:44 4
    - The test merely certifies that you have many of the skills required to not be a menace on the roads. - Beryllium Mar 12, 08:45 3
      - right, but as a responsible driver, I should not have to be hassled by random stops. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 12, 08:47 2

        if I have to get out of my car and breathe into a tube - groiny Mar 12, 08:50
