I think someone mentioned earlier regarding other professions and drinking but I am curious. Is the government allowed to bring in laws to target certain professions? The Drink/Driving law is generic to all drivers in the UK and not a particular profession. Surely there can't be a law for one and not the other.
If they can target certain professions with certain laws then why aren't the following targeted:-
Surgeons-over the limit could mean someones death.
Barristers-over the limit could mean bad presentation and therefore someone could be found guilty.
Architects/Surveyors-over the limit could mean incorrect specification therefore building falls down and people die.
Cruise Liner/Ferry Captains-over the limit, ship crashes/sinks and people die.
Taxi/Lorry Drivers-I know this is covered by the drink driving legislation, but they do far more hours and fatigue combined with a pint could lead to far more accidents and therefore a possibility of people dying.
Armed Police-over the limit, wrong decision and someone is shot.
I could specify far more professions but I'm sure you get my drift.
What do you think.
