Also if the vehicles are causing an obstruction or if a law looks like it's been broken such as one of those involved being drunk, driving like a div etc
I'm a teetotaller so it's easy for me to say this but I'd have no problem with the alcohol limit being lowered. Some people process alcohol better than others but that gives too much opportunity for someone to have a drink, be involved in an accident and say "But I felt fine". When I worked for the police 20+ years ago SWP did this publicity stunt where they offered a few members of the public to test their skills on the force's driving simulator before and after having alcohol.
Of the people who took part some went back on after having 2 pints and apparently "felt fine". Their reaction times dropped dramatically and were comparable to that of an 80 year old driver.
