1967 Archival Footage of British Pub Patrons Politely Refusing to Comply With a New Drunk Driving Law
by Lori Dorn from Laughing Squid on (#60VRW)
Archival footage from a 1967 news show documents interviews with pub patrons who politely refuse to comply with a new law about using breathalyzer tests to catch drunk drivers that was to be implemented the next day. Several patrons quite willingly blew into the new-fangled breathalyzer, yet despite learning they were over the limit, they had no qualms about getting in their car and driving away.
A current affairs show from 1967 talks to habitual drunk drivers on the eve of the introduction of the breathalyser.
