Most drunk people think this. They also usually think they can fight anyone, are hot enough to pick up any women, are more intelligent than Einstein and are pretty much bullet proof....

Why do they feel the need to only crack down for one period of the year? The year round lawlessness by sober drivers not enough of a concern? They're a useless lot.
And I would like to know how what effectively amounts to "He said, she said" will hold up in court? How can you prove something without evidence in a court of law? You want to charge me with a crime, first prove I committed a crime. No blood results verified by a Doctor? Sorry, that just ain't gonna fly.

You should have your drivers license revoked and your fiancee should get a bitch slap for being stupid if she lets you drive whilst you are drunk.

.Interesting that they want to try this BS in the Cape. Half the people there look and talk like they're drunk/high all the time anyways, and 90% of them definitely drive like they are. Even if this was constitutional, how would you trust a speedcop to know the difference between someone being drunk or just a local, without any tests?

I think most agree that:
*Driving while drunk should not be happening;
*Being arrested without proper evidence should not be happening;
*Metro cops cannot be trusted with making such decisions and will, in all probability, lead to some wrongful arrests due to failed assessments or -more worryingly - extortion/intimidation attempts.

However, I still think drinking and driving is the actual problem.
They must attend to both issues (i.e. blood testing backlog and reduce drunk people on our roads)

Having an effective lab, and enforcing the laws will do this..
Relying on hearsay and the cops "judgement" is not a solution in the slightest, it will just make things worse.
Between staring at a PC screen all day and allergies, my eyes are often bloodshot. So much so that on the one occasion I've been asked to blow into a breathalyser the two cops were convinced that it must be broken.
Fortunately I rarely drink and don't live in the WC, so this idiocy wouldn't affect me anyway, if by some miracle it came to pass.

That sounds like typical drunk talk.
Nobody drives or does anything (besides talking kuk) better under the influence of alcohol.

Well clubs tend to be bunched pretty close together. Just thinking off the top of my head there are 4 in the same centre in Rosebank (SET, Latinova, mibar and Hush) Sandton has Taboo, Icon and VIP all pretty close to each other. All of the ones in Melville are close to each other too. So if police patrol the area near the club they can almost check to make sure no drunk people even get into their cars. I have;'t explained fully but you get my drift?
They'd still have to test them, otherwise it is just applying the same guesswork to pedestrians.
