Sydney-siders need to take a long hard look at themselves after more than 400 drivers were caught over the drinming limit by Police this weekend.

Absolutely disgraceful!

Down here in Mexico we're two scared to drive around with flammable liquids anywhere near us at the moment.

What ranges were the majority caught in though. High Mid or Low?

Not exactly hard to dip into the low range. Even for goodie goodie people who live their life by the book it wouldn't be hard.

Go out to a restaraunt and see how many wines a couple consumes and watch them happily drive home.

What do you mean it's not hard to dip into the low range? It's dead easy mate, if you have over 2 drinks then get a cab home or get a lift with someone else! I'm on my P's and therefore can't drink anything before driving, do I find it hard at parties not to drink when everyone else is having a great time? Of course I do, so I don't bloody drive.

It's a decision the person needs to make before the party or night begins, do I drink? Or do I drive? It's so bloody simple, this is the most avoidable traffic offence in my opinion.

Mate I said it was easy to dip into the low range. The media are playing it out to say that these drivers were all plastered maniacs.

I usually do around 10 over the limit.

What's Drinming?

Is that a mix of Driving and Drinking?

All that shows is that its hard for people to judge the exact amount of alcohol they can have before hitting the prescribed limit,you make it sound like everyone of these was a catastrphe waiting to happen..
youve never had a couple and drove wondering if you might be a 0.001 or so over?

Exactly why they need to quote what range the majority were busted in. The whole RBT thing is flawed to begin with, but is better than nothing.

Bloody oath its easy,we are all told the 2 drinks-then one per hour rule,but I doubt this works 100% of the time,everyone is different and there is no one fits all scenario,even if thats what were told.
