Default RE: Drinking - how would you write the rule?

Guys,

Without meaning to sound controvertial, and not wanting to undermine the possible consequences of a pilot flying a model drunk, I am far more concerned with the fact that after the drunk guy has landed/crashed his plane, he has to drive home on the same roads that my Mom, Wife Kids have to travel on.

Like I said, I know what possibilities could occur by a drunk pilot, however, on the average flying field he would be more likely to crash away from people, where as on a road with traffic only feet away from him travelling towards him at a closing speed approaching 120 mph is this not more of a concern.

I wonder, how many of us would be brave enough to call the cops about a friend who is intentionally driving on the roads drunk? - I think it would be a VERY difficult decision to make but also possibly a lifesaver.

I don't mean to preach, just imagine how many people have been killed or injured by a drunk RC pilot crashing their plane and then imagine how many people have been killed by idiots who are drunk behind the wheel.

Respectfully Yours,

Sheridan
