worrying trend in australia seems out of control

You should get your Canadian friends to ship you the allowable amount of Copenhagen. How much can be legally shipped/imported duty free or without having confiscation or Customs charges to the shipper or receiver?

I don't drink and drive either so I don't know the laws for sure.....all I can say is my kids were alot smarter about it than I was when I was their age. I think there is a zero tolerance for young drivers. And i think the legal limits have changed for adults too.

A neighbor had a fender bender while driving over the legal limit, it's cost him over 10K in fines, surcharges, blow-box and installation, impounding fees,..... don't know about the insurance part regarding fixing the other guys vehicle. He might have to register all their vehicles under his wife's name....his surcharges might be insane.

Whats limit in canada 0.08? australia 0 to 0.05 drive on 0.05 to 0.08 a fine over 0.08 loss of liscence and big fine. Think 6 months $1000 bucks and noted criminal conviction which lasts for 10 yrs meaning one is barred in certain countries canada is one.

Never been done i always just used to sleep in the car if i thought i was over or get a ride or walk home .....

Rule of thumb i think is 3 cans of 5% beer in first hour and one every hour after but depends on body mass etc myself i drink 3% beer when i go out never a drama.

Used to brew me own beer once now that was wild,

You can actually be charged with an impaired here by sleeping in your car if you have the keys in your pocket or anywhere else in the car.

That could be the case here as well nowadays.

And yes "p" plate drivers we callem here first two years of driving lower speed limit 100kms not allowed to drive between i think midnight and 6am and zero alchol.

These rules make it hard for young farmers who may be on the road at 5.30 am think there are special permits for farm,ers.
