Drunken antics around the world ...
OK, these items have nothing to do with Stamford, but whilst I don't in any way condone irresponsible drinking, they did strike me as interesting when I found them on the web this week ...
Italy is confiscating drunk or drugged drivers' cars in an attempt to lower one of western Europe's highest road casualaty rates.
Any driver testing positive for illegal substances or with blood alcohol levels exceeding the limits can have their car confiscated, as well as a large fines and a jail sentence.
The cars will be auctioned off or used by the police - this is what already happens to vehicles confiscated from mafia offenders and drug dealers. Breathalysers aren't used very much in Italy, and they have a very high road accident rate.
Makes you glad we live in the UK!
