Road Safety - Alcohol

It's ironic that all this drug testing is going on with no evidence that using something like marijuana increases the risks, in fact the small amount of data shows the opposite that marijuana use actually decreases the risks when driving so it's a revenue raising exersize.

But worse still we know these laws are made by those drinking alcohol so that the focuss is taken off something that shows it is a high risk such as alcohol.

And even worse the laws should take all regular alcohol drinkers off the road! Yep it has been shown that regular drinking of alcohol shrinks the brain and effects the cognative abilities of a person, therefore it is not only when they are over the legal limit they present a high risk but when they drink regularily they present a higher risk.

Yet this farcical society will attack low risk drugs that show no risk whatsoever and ignore the real issue and that is alcohol. Last weekend over 200 people were over the legal limit for driving under the influence of alcohol in one location in QLD alone so it is these people that are pushing for drug testing of safe drugs to take the resources away from finding them.

Again I state is someone is a regular drinker their brain shrinks and as such they present a high risk on our roads and should be taken off the roads! But they don't even do random breath testing in the mornings when it is obvious there would be more people driving over the limit in the mornings than at night when most of the testing is done!

For example most people will not drive when drinking at night, which is responsible but then the next morning when they are still over the limit they drive to work!!!! But they know they can get away with it becuase their is rarely any alcohol testing in the morning, in fact I have never seen one in the morning anywhere!!!!

But the alcohol drinkers in politics don't want you to know how many people drive to work over the limit and focuss on testing for a drug that presents no risk on our roads so they don't get caught.

Wake up and put more resources into alcohol testing during the day and especially in the morning.
