The evidence is out there that alcohol consumption does reduce the ability to drive but how many people would be so judgemental or vocal about a 80 year old grandmother who runs someone over because she has a vision issue in comparison to a 20 something guy who is a fraction over the alcohol limit and causes a similar incident?



Actually, those white-haired old men & ladies are the ones who really scare me when I'm on the bike. My Mom lives in an area with lots of ahem, retirees and their driving habits are poor. There have been some really horrific accidents involving folks that can't hear, see or react to traffic situations. If you cause personal injury or property damage you have to be judged by the same measuring stick whether you're drunk, old, or just plain stupid.

Ride safe and DON'T DRINK & DRIVE.
