These accidents happen when you go past your limits. The problem of course is that with an increasingly elevated BAC, one is rendered increasingly incompetent of making value judgements. If you are blind drunk (or even a bit tipsy) how do you know what those limits are? Nark wrote on Thu, 13 February 2003 11:24 Yes, I drive like a maniac, but I know my car's mannerisms inside out......What about throwing your car into a corner not knowing what the grip levels are like? Road grip levels have nothing to do with your car's 'mannerisms'. Also your car will behave very differently if one of your tyres rolled off the rim (for example). Nark wrote on Thu, 13 February 2003 11:24 What we need is better driver education. I reckon advanced driving courses should be compulsory for everyone who's about to get a licence. Small studies in the USA have demonstrated that advanced driving courses when administered to drivers actually increased the accident rate. This was attributed to an inflated sense of invincibility. The whole atmosphere of ADCs is wrong. They are conducted on racetracks - this adds to sense that a driver who has successfully completed such a course is now a 'race driver' and more likely to behave recklessly on the roads. With regard to BAC, the answer is simple - BAC of 0.00 or immediate loss of licence. A licence is a privilege, not a right. In my opinion, drink driving (or any reckless, cretinous behaviour) forfeits that. [Report message to a moderator]
