It's time to put alcolocks on the ignitions

The technology is already there

Anyone who overrides it for a drunk driver-immediate jail time

Would you support mandatory speed limiters of 120kph/75mph on all vehicles too?

I know I would.
Not a chance. Modern cars can sit at 100mph plus very easily.

Would be in favour of the alcoclocks thing though

Good to see some posters haven't changed since 2015. In summary, man under any influence of alcohol is a menace to society, but man driving at speed kills no one.

It's amazing how some public health marketing campaigns work, and others do not.
to be honest it just depends on the person and circumstances. I know people that I'd trust to drive safer after 12 pints than some people do sober. Similarly there are people I could sit beside doing 120+ and feel safer than I would doing 40 mph. 70mph is a ridiculously low speed limit. Try sitting in the fast lane of a motorway at 70 and see how you get on

christ the night, what a statement  ???

but altogether typical

in fact scratch that, the whole post is outrageous lol

What sort of small minded mentality must they have to worship billionaires who look down on them from priceless golden thrones while people are starving on the streets? I'll honestly never get it.

It boggles the mind alright.
Nearly as bad as there being a 21 page thread about them on the gaaboard...

not surprised at all, most of this board seem to be watching it too  ::)

the road is not to blame, it's the drivers obviously  ::)

speed (mainly), impatience, bad decisions, phone use, etc all factors

self driving cars which actually adhere to the law cannot get here fast enough

to pass your driving test at 18 and have it for life is an absolute joke

of course everyone will say no to that because it's just too sensible  :(

Think everyone was over thinking it, Rahm the best player in the world & it's not particularly close at the moment.

yep best player won it easy in the end

saudis put up a good fight, 3 in the top 5

great tournament in the end

12 out 18 LIV players made the cut (2 of the other 6 were injured)

Koepka the likely winner

smart play to take the saudi cash and just play the majors

Really the GFA was the Anglo-Irish Treaty part 2. 25 years later and no closer to a UI. The good part of the GFA was the end to violence being suffered by innocent people regardless of who dished it out. Can a political way bring about a UI? we have seen what has happened in the 26 counties since 1921.

the north has normalised the status quo. That hasn't changed in 25 years.

The culture, media, education, etc reinforce this.

Rich, comfortable societies do not vote for change.

Love Masters week. Really looking forward to it as usual but there are definitely a few more storylines with the LIV lads this time around.

The Power Rankings haven't appeared yet but have to say 3 lads at under 10/1 odds for a Masters is a bit mad. I managed to get a sneaky e/w on Corey Conners before he won last night so hopefully he can win me a few quid.

Anybody else with some big odds picks?

WRX power rankings are out on Wednesday morning apparently.

Burns, Day and Hovland my picks

Cantlay, Reed and Koepka

every workplace has a majority quiet quitters now

bare minimum work, unsackable but just show up and collect

employers are clueless about what to do

get your sleep right, eat healthy, exercise (every day, do not miss this even if only 10 minutes)

sounds easy but those 3 things will make a massive difference to your head

set goals, not too big but enough to make it a challenge and work from there

good luck
