Those wacky Irish[^]
Quote: Kerry County Council will now ask Justice Minister Alan Shatter to issue licences that would allow people living in remote countryside to drive home from their nearest pub “after having two or three drinks on little-used roads driving at very low speeds”.

It's not helping that my missus is watching Jeremy Kyle and my IQ has dropped around 40 points since I started this thread.

FFS! How stupid can you get? They have been trying to stop the Irish drink driving and when it finally starts to work they come up with an idea like this? What a surprise that the "Yes" voters own pubs!
That's like saying "it's OK to drink and drive provided it's only a few miles, and you don't weave about too much". Idiots!
If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

Griff, this isn't Ireland it's Kerry. A place where they call a man under a wheelbarrow an engineer.

I don't actually think this is that stupid. You are extremely unlikely to have an accident pottering about on this type of road, and even if you are ten times more likely after two pints, that's still a negligible risk and in my opinion one worth taking for increased social interaction in rural areas.
This is currently de facto the case because drink driving is not enforced in rural areas – probably precisely because it causes very few accidents! But it would make more sense to have legal limits for what you're allowed to do rather than have an unclear tacit understanding of what's okay (which seems to be 'you aren't weaving about enough for anyone to report you').

Agreed. Laws are supposed to be for the protection and assistance of people, not a mandatory set of rules that are applied arbitrarily, whether they are needed or not.
