    Don’t get me started!
    They are humans who do not deserve to be in these responsible jobs. Everyone should be randomly tested for driving under the influence of any substances that negatively affect their driving because they are putting other people at rsk.The government were quick to implement driving without seat belt rules because it saves the lives of the drivers it reduces the government health spending and with no extra spending costs to the government ; but to employ this very important strategy to charge and or ban drink drivers who choose to maim and kill others on the road will inconvenient the very people who are meant to show a good example.
    The conditions and designs of the roads, and with the increasing high levels of motor vehicles; demands for urgent changes in the rules governing road safety should become a priority. In the long term the health of the nation will improve, which is very likely to reflect in less domestic abuse.
    Wake up “He is human too” attitude that makes us accept such irresponsible behaviour. Getting help for our addictions also needs confronting that is a different topic for another time.

    Look at this and you have to question why they choose to work for the very same establishment who are there to stop this sort of behaviour.
    Our police are too soft on drink drive offences which should be the opposite as Grenada is number 3 in the world for alcohol consumption based on the population.
    The police should have more random stop and breatherlise those drivers.
