Campaigners are pushing for the installation of alcolocks in the cars of drink-drivers, but there may be another solution that is worth considering. Let's discuss this and other topics in the comments section. Some suggest crushing the cars of repeat offenders, while others question whether alcolocks can be easily tampered with. This may be a way to force irresponsible drivers to take more responsibility, but could it be bypassed by mechanics or sober passengers? And what about drivers under the influence of drugs - can alcolocks detect this as well?
Alternatively, giving magistrates the power to order the crushing of repeat offenders' vehicles after two or three strikes may be a simpler solution. Some may view this as harsh, but what about the families and friends of those who have been injured or killed by impaired drivers? We want to hear your views on this matter.
Moving on to another topic, it's worth considering the issue of drug users on the roads. While drink-driving is a well-known problem, we often overlook the dangers of driving while under the influence of drugs. So why isn't there more discussion and action on this issue? Many drivers have encountered the strong smell of cannabis while on the road, and it's a concern that needs to be addressed.
On a different note, let's talk about the government's Renters' Rights Bill and its potential consequences. According to a recent survey, 60% of private landlords may exit the market in the next year due to this legislation. But could this result in a shortage of rental properties and higher rents? It's something to consider and share your thoughts on.
Shifting our focus to international affairs, Israel's recent airstrikes in Lebanon have raised concerns about their intentions and actions in the Middle East. Some believe that the West should stop supplying them with arms, while others argue that Israel is acting in self-defense. What do you think?
Finally, let's touch on a few lighter topics. Have you noticed the strange road markings in Frome that are causing confusion and concern among parents? Some say they are achieving their purpose if they are slowing down traffic, while others question their effectiveness.
And on a humorous note, one reader suggests taking make-up tips from the Gallagher brothers of Oasis fame. While this may seem like a stretch, it's worth considering - after all, they always seem to look natural on stage and in the studio. What are your thoughts on this and other topics?
