I wonder if drink driving, where there is a limit that's hard to judge until one is pinged and blood/breathalyser tested, is looked at differently to flying where there is an absolute 8 hours prior to departure prohibition.

With the former one can make an error of judgement. With the latter it's more likely a conscious decision to disregard the law.

Or, Mickey's hands fell off and one could no longer tell the time.
