New BC Drunk Driving Bill

[caesar]

I was speaking about the children in Toronto who have been sexually assaulted and mutilated. But then if you don't know about that then you would not know those spedific cases. With all the child abductions and attempted abductions I am surprised you are not aware of any.

This is a BC law not one in Ontario. What have those children have to do with our BC money being spent to keep drunk drivers off the road.

Most drunks are not mean drunks (where would you get a statistic like that?). So now you are stating that domestic assault should be considerd a driving issue? This just keeps getting deeper and deeper.

Yeah right. Many drunks are mean and assault women and children and engage in road rage. Not a driving one but it is a drinking one. How many DUIs do you have. Drunk drivers kill children, mothers, fathers and other innocent people. Our money IS being wisely spent if it saves one life.

Photo radar would be good for drunk drivers on secondary roads.

Many women assult children, many men assualt childrenm they don't need to be drinking to do it. Drinking is not the root of the problem, it is the morals and attitudes of the people committing the crimes.

Most road rage is not committed by people who have been drinking. That is a basic fact. Most accidents, even fatal ones, do not involve a drunk driver. They involve someone who is driving dangerously (asleep at the wheel, distracted by other issues, etc...).

How many DUIs do you have.

None, How much road rage do you have? Want to continue name calling? It serves no purpose really, it just glorifies your ego.

Drunk drivers kill children, mothers, fathers and other innocent people.

So do other impaired drivers. I simply stated that chances of being killed by a drunk driver is not as great as being killed by other impaired drives. You are focusing on minute issues rather than the real problems.

Our money IS being wisely spent if it saves one life.

Keeping people from leaving their homes would save more lives. Would that be a better use of YOUR money? Martial law would save more lives (until people became too fed up) would that be a better use for YOUR money?

What have those children have to do with our BC money being spent to keep drunk drivers off the road.

Apparently nothing to you! But the same thing happens there. Do you not care about your children? You seem to prefer to spend money on something that saves one life than things that would save many lives (even childrens). You agree that it is a control mechanism but you fail to realize that control is not the same as changing people's minds.

To scare people from drinking and driving and it is working.

No, what is working is the change in people's attitudes. You can't change 97% of the drinking drivers when you only catch 3%. The real change has been publicity and education.

Many drunks are mean and assault women and children and engage in road rage.

I stated that driving issues should be treated like other criminal issues and you have argued with me the whole time. What is your stand on the issue? Do you not think that crimes should be treated like crimes? Should we continue to treat drivers special because they are paying for a privilege? What do you really want. Laws that do not have any real effect or criminals to be treated like criminals.

Only if they are speeding. That is not usually the case on secondary roads. That would just reasure someone who is drinking that there will be no police present because the police will rely on the photo radar to do the job for them.

Yes right. Show some statistics that prove your point.

Sure like to defend drunk drivers. Is this Gordon Campbell???hehe

I talked to this police officer, and he said that photo radar would be good on the secondary roads for drunk drivers.

[brianw]

None, How much road rage do you have?

No answer? Interesting!

Want to continue name calling?

Obviously it serves your purpose!

...it just glorifies your ego

And again, obviously!

Yes right. Show some statistics that prove your point.

Talk to a police officer and they will tell you that a search warrant is a waste of time. Is it?

How would photo radar help catch drunk drivers if they are not speeding?

Brian just take a taxi and quit the Drinking and driving or stay home and drink all you want. Just stay looff the roads when you are drinking.
