The most dangerous drivers by far are the 80+ crowd, and we're about to get a whole lot of them. poo poo's going to hit the fan (and pedestrians).

I often speak to older people who drive but only when the conditions are perfect and only around the neighbourhood, like not into CBD, and not around 9 or 3 or 5 lol maybe you just shouldn’t drive at all. this one dude I have in mind has a single beer once a week at the pub and drives home and I’m sure he’s under the limit but also what does that mean to a 92 year old he’s probably hosed off his face with a single beer

the pernicious thing about alcohol's effect on reflexes and response is that it is not noticeable to the user the reason that police do things like test your horizontal gauge nystagmus is that it is not dependent on your tolerance to alcohol. it is an objective measure of your impairment. if an ordinary jackass cop can notice a problem with horizontal gauge nystagmus at a field sobriety test, you are not just drunk, you are hosed off your kettle, as far as your ability to drive. you might very well feel just fine, but you are objectively totally hosed. people who drink a lot, actual fuckin alcoholics, or people who are very old, often have no visible symptoms of drunkenness. but as far as driving is concerned, they are just as unable to react quickly as someone in the peak of health tl;dr: don't drink and drive. like, not even a little. if you plan to have one drink at an occasion, call a loving cab. it's the right thing to do, whether or not your local laws allow otherwise.

echinopsis posted:the black and white model of intoxication i mean intoxication varies pretty widely but alcohol's effect on your ability to specifically drive is extremely rapid and happens at rather low doses i am not saying that a detectable bac should be a basis for public drunkeness charges or something just, don't fuckin drive after having a beer

i take it you guys don't use permille that often? maybe that's a scandinavian thing, to say 0.2 permille / ‰ instead of 0.02 %. this is only when talking about bac though, its the only time it's used. makes it kinda unambiguous what you're talking about.

it's unambiguous in america too bc nobody in america uses permille. oh look at me using a fancy different unit that looks almost the same as one 10x larger instead of just adding a zero to the figure. this won't be confusing. like if you had millimeters and rnillimeters (100 microns), abbreviated mm and rnm 0.8% blood alcohol would kill you anyway so if that's the value you think you're talking about you know it's wrong Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 23:00 on Nov 12, 2019 |

Of course, that means there are probably more people who hit that regularly but don't try to drive, and so haven't had any reason to get their bac tested.

you're gonna die suddenly and violently anyway, so it ultimately doesn't matter if it's at the hands of a guy who had a sip of beer 30 minutes ago before driving, or by an idiot neural net programmed by a guy who skimmed a deep learning tutorial a day before the deadline that doesn't understand the concept of "things moving in both space and time"
