Drink driving laws are there to stop idiots getting pissed up then driving into an accident, usually of their own making, well at least that is what I thought.

But no. A man who is confined to a wheelchair because he suffers from cerebral palsy was refused a 3rd drink on two seperate occasions in a pub he was a regular of because that would have put him over the legal alcohol limit. Except such limits don’t actually apply to people in wheelchairs.

The pub now claim it was down to mistaken identity, that another wheelchair-bound customer of the pub had asked to only be allowed a maximum of 2 drinks, and that a member of staff had confused the two. So, either the pub has shit staff who can’t tell the difference between two people beyond the blindingly obvious (that they were both in wheelchairs) or that people telling everyone else what to do is now the national passtime of Britain. Either thing is probably true.

Its just another sign that you can’t do anything, anywhere, with anyone, without some arse trying to tell you that you shouldn’t. If it wasn’t so sad it would be funny.
