This should close a few pubs. Serve them right for providing car
parks.
"Just one small glass of wine or a single pint of beer could soon put
motorists in the dock for drink-driving.
The crackdown, which has won support from ministers, could see up to
200,000 drivers a year losing their licences - double the present
number.
Road safety experts say slashing the drink-drive limit will save up to
65 lives a year.
Ministers are said to be "minded" to cut the limit from 80mg of
alcohol per 100ml of blood to 50mg - the legal maximum found in most
of the rest of Europe - and such a move could come in within 18
months..."

Because you might be tempted. Pub car parks should be regarded as
incitement to drink and drive. Anyway, there is nothing to stop you
parking on roads and in cycle lanes or on pavements like other
drivers. In many cases pubs are in walking distance from home or on PT
routes, assuming most people live somewhere sensible and not scattered
randomly across remote farming areas.

Another car-related thread brought to you on behalf of the Nazi
party. Wasn't Hitler teetotal, in addition to being a vegetarian?
