in reply to Space Hobo • • •So no one who can't walk 200m can visit a pub, even with a designated driver? And no one with a car can live within 200m of a pub?
I know there's a lot of anti-car sentiment here, but that's taking things a bit far.

What if the designated driver can't walk 200m? Some disabled people drive.

I'm not sure how practical the theory test is, but I'd support a breath test for any driver with prior drink–driving convictions. Making it selective would add to the stigma and also avoid unnecessary cost for people who never drink and drive.
A reaction time test is an interesting idea. We struggled for years to get my father to give up his car, so I'm sympathetic to the idea. I guess it might also prevent some kinds of drug–driving.
