No I haven't. And at no point in my posts have I condoned DD. I acknowledged he broke the law, but he has been treated like some kind of pariah despite blowing over the limit by just 0.009. And I totally agree with you, hoon laws should apply to DD as well. But I don't think we need 0.05 and 0.08 rules. Make it one or the other. Because people know that if they blow between 0.05 and 0.08 they'll only receive a fine they push the envelope. If you lost your license with a 0.05 reading, a lot more drivers would not risk it.
