Country hazards

Is Alexandra Shulman being serious when she suggests that the drink-drive limit should be higher in rural areas to keep country pubs in business? Has she ever driven on country roads? I do. I live in a village and some of the hazards I come across on these ‘quiet rural lanes’ include dog walkers, cyclists, horse riders, wildlife and huge farm machinery. And some drivers seem to think that lanes are their personal racetracks. Lynn Snelson, Lincolnshire
