Default Totally OT: I have no time for drunk drivers

sorry to be agreeing with Sir Tony mode ON You can let off a bomb in
Trafalgar Square, and depending on chance, and the time at which you let
it off, no one gets hurt.

A 'victimless crime' ?

Drunk driving is only 'victimless' as long as you're lucky enough not to
wipe someone out.


That argument goes for any type of driving, driving is an accident
waiting to happen, a pedestrian stepping out etc. Drink driving increases
the risk of it happening but so does driving more miles, or driving
tired, or lighting a tab etc.


Erm, wrong. 'Driving' in itself is not 'a crime'. So therefore, it can't
be 'a victimless crime'.
