Yeah...me too....it's weird because recently when I was on holiday in France.....I couldn't help noticing that certain people were drinking throughout the day and evening and eventually taking to the wheel ...starting with the apperitif...then wine with the meal ( accompanied by water..agreed..) and then usually a 'digestive' ...and then driving home......................I challenged this on two occasions.........................and I was basically told to mind my own business.......................I don't mind saying I was really really pissed off about this......................and I have been mulling it over in my mind on and off..................I mean.....I'm not a killjoy............but it's not right is it ?
There is quite a big problem with it in France, I think it is quite culturally entrenched, but they have horrendous statistics for road deaths on what are very safe roads. I've just got back from 2 weeks over there, & have seen people drive off into the night after scary amounts. Once you get into the rural bits the gendarmerie become invisible, & I wonder whether they actually stop & breathalyse much? Coz that is a deterrent.
Spot on, its not right, ever.
