I tend to look at it this way..........
Having a driving licence is a privilege, not a right and to obtain one and keep it you must prove that you are responsible in the handling of what I consider to be a potentially lethal weapon.
You also need a licence to carry a gun - another potentially lethal weapon.
I KNOW that if I was carrying a gun and I had been drinking even a small amount of alcohol that I personally would be a danger to others.
I'm not prepared to put that same scenario to the test whilst driving my car.
For me, it's nothing to do with getting caught by the police and paying the consequences - for me, it's knowing that being the cause of an RTA would be bad enough without the added guilt of knowing I'd had a drink.
I'm in the zero tolerance camp on this one .......
