A software and governmental proposal

Stuart MacNamara ... was driving a car unadapted to cater for his disability.
He was stopped by police in Swansea after he was seen driving through a red traffic light holding a mobile phone to his ear with his good arm.

A test showed that MacNamara, of New Road, Llanmorlais, Swansea, had almost twice the legal limit of alcohol in his breath.

	Drink-driver? (none / 0) (#1)

	What, praytell, is a "drink-driver?" Some sort of delivery person, perchance? Can one place a phone order for a Martini in the UK? Or maybe we are dealing with an analog of the screwdriver. Thus, the "drink-driver" would be a tool with which one secures or extracts drinks. Then again, it could be the designation of a particular sort of agent; the drink-driver would then be the person or circumstance that has driven one to drink. Any insight into the matter would be most welcome. © 2002, RobotSlave. You may not reproduce this material, in whole or in part, without written permission of the owner.
