Comments on: Videos: People Urged To Be Safe Over Holiday https://bernews.com/2016/06/videos-people-urged-safe-holiday/ Bermuda's #1 source for 24/7 breaking news, photos & videos Sat, 25 Apr 2026 22:49:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.7.5 By: sage https://bernews.com/2016/06/videos-people-urged-safe-holiday/#comment-3261615 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 11:32:30 +0000 http://bernews.com/?p=535410#comment-3261615 Logic is it? Any amount of alcohol can cause impairment and an arbitrary level of 0.8 is ridiculous and extremely dangerous, encouraging and endorsing impaired driving. Every person who goes out to dinner has a glass of wine and then drives a motor vehicle should go to jail and be put on the US stoplist, but I guess it’s ok for you and “most” alcohol addicts, that 90%+ of our road fatalities are alcohol related, you just have to imbibe to fit in. What is clearly not reasonable is that people are jailed for cannabis, where the cops do randomly stop people for no good reason (a constitutional violation for roadside sobriety checks) and treat people worse than murderers, over a beneficial plant which is a far safer alternative, in a clear case of discriminatory bias. Oh well BTA has legalized drinking in public too, or at least now put it in writing. PS drinking wine after dinner does not make you sophisticated.

Otherwise, every person that goes out to dinner and has a glass of wine could end up in jail. Most would agree that is not reasonable.

Oh, and we don’t allow roadside sobriety checks, unconstitutional.

Why are there emergency vehicles speeding all up and down North Shore Road-police and fire?
