Give up individual, you're wasting your time. It does get worse with this stupidity.

When my son was last home, a couple of his old school mates had a party for him. They planned to have a few drinks, so most stayed the night.

However, one was there, a stripling, on a small & weedy beast, [opps sorry wrong story]. He was a tradie, in his ute, with tools, to go to a job in the morning. Due to this he stopped at 10 PM.

Now this bloke has a poor sense of direction, he gets lost a lot. He can get on the expressway, going in the wrong direction, & go 50Km before realising it. To overcome this, they took him, & his ute to the nearest expressway entrance, parked him in the nearest legal parking spot, where he could not get it wrong in the morning, & he went to sleep.

He was going to head off at 6.00 AM, but the cops woke him at 1.30AM, breathalysed him at 0.056, & booked him as a drunk driver. They carted him off to a cop station 25Km away, & held him over night, leaving his ute, & tools where they were.

6.00 AM he managed to raise my son, who went & got him, returning to his ute, luckily still there.

For sleeping in his car he was fined $400 & lost his licence for 4 months. He is now probably driving unlicensed, that or loose his house, like so many others.

Paul if you respect these fool laws, so badly enforced, you're an idiot. You wouldn't be a control freak bureaucrat would you?

Luddy old mate, we nearly agree.

Fortunately I don't drink, so don't have a personal problem with that one, but your idea could be good.

By that reasoning, all those brought up with the original 0.08 alcohol limit, should be able to to continue to drive by that law. Johny come lately types could live by the 0.05

Better still, all us old blokes, brought up with the old, "60 miles/hour, or any speed you deem safe" speed limits, should still be driving by that one. Obviously if we could drive 1950s cars, on 1950s roads at 100 MILES per hour, we must be as safe as houses at similar speeds in modern cars on modern roads.

Perhaps for Paul we could have "advanced driver" tattooed in green on our foreheads, just so he could easily recognise we superior beings.

"Paul if you respect these fool laws, so badly enforced, you're an idiot."
Hasbeen. The only idiot here is you. Typical type who wants the full force of the law applied to others when it comes to that, what you perceive as wrong, but when it comes to you and/or your mates braking what you term 'fool laws' like drink driving its a different matter.
The mate story:
"He can get on the expressway, going in the wrong direction," Entered through the off ramp instead of the on ramp, driving his 1956 Holden ute. Not his fault he only had 6 tinnes for morning tea, besides he's old school with a "poor sense of direction" besides no alcohol limit applies to old blokes, because such laws are for fools only, "He is now probably driving unlicensed" no problem is it just another fool law.
"For sleeping in his car he was fined $400 & lost his licence for 4 months." Gee, that is a stiff penalty for as you put it breaking the "sleeping in his car" law, 0.056, $400 and 4 months come off it Hasbeen, tell us about his previous!

Yes a total idiot, just as I thought.

Indy, coppers are coppers what can you do. Re the .05 in NSW, it was .08 when first instituted. I believe it should go back to .08, that would cut out most low range PCA's which are shams. You don’t find people on .05 or .08 swerving all over the road, they are still in control.

sonofgloin,
my point exactly. Just because the Paul1405's are one pot screamers the rest of us gets thrown into the same basket. I recall on Cape York when we had pot-holed roads from ar$ehole to breakfast & we did pub crawls with five people in the back of the ute plus an esky for the road. In twenty years of my being there I can't recall a single accident with the drivers being a minimum of .5. Then, when we had to have all these good roads & of course we also had to have better cars as well, the accidents started. Now the so-called better conditions were forced upon us by southern short-term career public servants who were worried about their Toorak tractors losing resale value. Well, most of them have gone again but we are stuck with all these idiotic academic regulations. Did you know that if you want to get a few cartons of beer because you're camped 30 miles down the coast you have to make one trip per carton. You cop a hefty fine if you get caught with more than one carton in your car even if you just want to top up your supplies on a boat. I suppose if you pay Carbon Tax then the extra travelling brings even more revenue.
Yes the Law must be obeyed but when the Law is ludicrous the average copper can't distinguish between Law & some sense & unfortunately we have a real shortage of Police up in the Bush.
