    Maybe THEY'RE raising money to send you back to school :)

    And I'm pretty sure they'd have organised and paid for their Christmas do a few months ago.

    High profile and raising awareness. Hopefully stopping a few idiots who may be tempted to get back into car after the works Christmas party.

    if your not one of these idiots, then you have nothing to worry about.

    If you don't drink n drive you would have nothing to fear would you
    I would like to think that they are trying to prevent the carnage that the selfish drink drivers cause every year
    Good on em
    Do you agree ?

    No, not motorists. Just the reckless selfish ones, putting innocent people's lives at risk. I'd happily be stopped for a random breath test.

    I don't drink and drive, but do you not think that people will be pissed up in town causing trouble assaulting people and get away scot free due to the police singling out the Motorists?

    If people behaved and didn't act like fcukin idiots, the police wouldn't be spread so thin. There's also CCTV covering every inch of town, and the odd skirmish usually ends in seconds with no real harm done. Drink drivers, meanwhile, kill people and wreck lives. So if you're asking which is the most important - drink drivers, hands down

    People shouldn't have to behave though, we've got the police to sort it out. Or sumert.

    Having seen first hand the after effects of drink drivers (all year round) I'm all for such campaigns.

    The revenue generated doesn't go anywhere near the old bill however their real motive is road safety and nothing else.

    Yes, an easy target perhaps but drink drivers make themselves the easy target.

    I'm feeling a strange sense of agreement with mrx. I'm off for a lie down.

    RBT's all over Australia, all year round including mornings, and they target big events like a race meeting or footie match to catch people leaving after having a couple of coldies.

    D&D kills, must be stopped.

    Lived in Australia for 5 years, stopped for a RBT on average once every 2 months. No big deal, blow into a tube and on your way after a couple of minutes. (Much shorter hold up than being stuck in traffic after a major accident).

    Lived in England 40 years, been stopped once.

    RBT's in UK no where near as widespread as they should be.
