In an effort to curb speeding and drink drink driving, I wonder what would happen if a RBT unit was placed in each of the RSL Clubs on the Central Coast in Australia.
It could work like this.
When you arrive at the Club for the evening you hand your car keys to the RBT Unit and obtain a receipt. On leaving the Club sometime later, you undergo a compulsory breath test. If you are under the limit you are handed your car keys. If you are over the limit, your car keys are withheld and you go home by taxi. You collect your car keys from the Police station at a later date.
Not a bad idea, and would bring an awful lot of people up short
Much better to prevent drink driving than to wait until the offence is committed then arrest the driver.
Bit like shutting the door after the donkey has bolted.,. wouldn't you say.?

Excellent idea! Not only RSL clubs, but pubs too should be on the list.
It would also mean that the police would be back fulfilling their primary role, which they've forgotten. That is to prevent crime. Only if they fail in that should their secondary role of catching law breakers come into play.
