SIR – Does Brian Holmans (Letters, April 13) really think that the current drink-driving limit is too high?

The alcohol-fuelled accidents he speaks of are caused by those well over the limit and not by those who have had two pints.

But the difference between being able to have a couple of pints and just one will lead to more drivers deciding the journey is not worth the bother.

Instead of a convivial evening in a pub, they may well opt to stay in drinking too much cheap supermarket booze, harming both their physical and mental health.

And at the same time the rural pub – already an endangered species – will slide further to oblivion.
