Supermarket Breath Tests

The petition is entitled Call for Compulsory Breath Tests in Stores which sell Alcohol 24 hours and the explanatory notes say
"Call for Breath tests in supermarkets to ensure that people arent over the limit when buying alcohol, especially at night. there by reducing the number of drink drivers."

Er ... right ... Er ... Question: are many drunk drivers known to have purchased their alcohol in all-night supermarkets when already drunk? It seems quite a complicated concatenation of circumstances ...

I've now wasted an hour reading numerous blogs you have written in the last two months. You undoubtedly were raised here in England, and are undoubtedly young, based on the factors that you believe that just because you are "entitled to an opinion" that your opinion is valuable. It is most often, in most cases I read, not. Just asking questions, or expressing skepticism, is a curious exercise in self-psychotherapy but it is not by itself of value to others. Please spend more time evaluating each issue on the basis of what it may mean to society, not you. That you put words behind your opinions does not garner respect for you... nor does it enhance anything except your own listings. Please think twice. In Frank Herbert's Dune an important principle was to "speak only the deepest truth you can sense". Please. Thanks. Anonymous only because I like most others have litle time and now I won't waste further time reading your rantings. But good luck anyway. Cheers, a real person
