Sure, Breathalyzer: But Will It Be Enforced?

Sure, the Government of Trinidad and Tobago finally got its act together about legislation regarding drunk driving. And yes, it is good - especially for the Christmas season.

But can it be reasonably enforced? If it isn't enough that the courts are clogged with other things, there's also the fact that breathalyzing strategies by the Trinidad and Tobago police force will pull resources away from other things. Just recently at Bacolet Point, police were unable to respond because they didn't have a vehicle - and this resulted in the death of Peter.

So yes - good idea, good law but - as most things - is it actually practical? Or is it another symptom of lawmakers who do not drive (and perhaps don't even live in the same figurative country as the rest of us) legislating for those that do drive?

Time will tell.

Opinion: Epic Fail.
