| Category: According to this article in the Hun, Tom Grogan of the Professional Driver Trainers' Association is angry. It seems a bloke who had had a few drinks was the licensed passenger for his learner-driver son. Now that is rightly against the law but let's get a bit of perspective here. The man had a blood-alcohol level of .068. He was NOT rolling drunk. It seems that by exploiting lazy, press release journalism, Grogan is discrediting the whole learner driver system. Who would gain if less parents spent time in the passenger seat with their learner-driver children? The members of the Professional Driver Trainers' Association is who! Incidentally, "the man was one of just two offenders caught from the 973 drivers breath-tested by police". By geez, those numbers are way down, aren't they? |
