It's time to liberalise Ontario's driving laws and end the persecution of drink drivers, says Campaign for Driving Freedom founder model-putrid.

Despite the fact that 75% of road accidents in Ontario solely involve sober drivers, legislators have decided that the less than 25% of Ontarians regrettably involved in road accidents who happen to be drink-driving are the cause of all road accidents, and Ontario's current laws unfairly attack the rights of law-abiding Ontarians as a result.

Drivers who choose to drink in Ontario risk having their license suspended if their blood alcohol concentration level is above 0.05, and novice drivers must have a BAC level of zero. Ontarians everywhere are unfairly subjected to the Orwellian practice of random breath testing in order to enforce these unfair laws.

Let's face the facts: so-called "drink driving" is harmless. For many Ontarians, drinking may help rather than hinder their cognitive capabilities when driving, and assist them in staying focused on the road. While some may choose to do reckless things while intoxicated on the road, it is not the fault of the alcohol -- it is the fault of the individual, as shown by the fact that the overwhelming majority of incidents on Ontarian roads do not involve drivers who choose to drink.

The Campaign for Driving Freedom has three key demands:

• End all random breath tests on Ontarian roads;

• Stop unfair and restrictive requirements for novice drivers to have a BAC of zero;

• Abolish all laws that restrict a driver's BAC while on the road.

It's time to bring back freedom to our roads, and let drivers make an informed choice on how they wish to drive -- whether they choose to stay sober as the overwhelming majority of Ontarians do, or whether they'd like to make their own choice to have a drink or two before they hit the road.
