Unfortunately it’s always the same, legislation which curtails our freedoms has to be used to protect the majority from the selfish behavior of an idiotic minority and that idiotic minority from themselves.
The problem is that the aforementioned minority are selfish and daft enough to ignore it. It’s the same as drink driving laws. There’re those who advocate making the alcohol limit for driving zero. All that would happen is that some poor old guy would get pulled for having a tail light out, be put through a routine breath test and fail because his medication contained 0.01% alcohol. He’d get a three month ban which he’d honour, struggling home with his shopping on a bus. Meanwhile, the inconsiderate b*****d who regularly drives home after six pints and a bag of crisps would get yet another ban which he would be totally ignored.
