Drunk? I'll just straighten the road!

What the f***? Have the people in the United Kingdom lost their minds? That is not taking care of the problem, that is saying that it is okay for people to get drunk and drive badly on the roads. Here in the United States of America, people get arrested for drunk driving because we are trying to send a message that it is not okay to drink and drive.

That is the strangest thing that I have heard in a while. They have to reconstruct the road so those that are drunk can stagger home. Wouldn't that be a little costly to do? Is there another way to deal with that? I this part of the discussion that you spoke; of where they were going to move the good citizens out of town and leave the ones that are causing the problems there?

rotflmao now that is funny :))) That would be quite a task in my neck of the woods all of our roads streets are curvy and hilly.... Gosh our main street walks like a roller coaster ride :)) too funny pikey :)))

Hi p1ke we have lost the plot-who on earth came up with such an idea? what is happening to this country? The money the government spend on these stupid ideas could go to a lot better use-THEY HAVE LOST THE PLOT!!! littleowl

Our goverment lost the plot along time ago.

I think you blokes have finally lost it. That almost sounds as stupid as something our Congress would propose.

Well, wouldn't it just be easier and cheaper to just make the people whom are drinking pay for a cab ride home? then to redo a whole town..

The Romans already tried it. According to a history book I read recently they also had the problem of binge drinking and anti-social behaviour and they always built straight roads. The lunatics really are running the asylum.

Ill just say wwe have some of the best police and ssicentists (credit), anyway I think what they may mean is not so much to adjust them but to repair them, if u are a brit like me(myself being welsh) u will know the state on our roads,some of them are terrible, with tidy work done on pot holes and that it may help, Im not sure about reducing crime though.

lol I totally agree p1ke. since when do we change things for drunks? lol other than family members that is?

LOL... Sounds like a great plan...well except for the sober people on the road!! :(

oh myG pikey I think we have lost our minds not the plot, why not straighten out the drunks instead?' probably be a lot cheaper and maybe more productive in the long run.So they are blaming the roads, not the booze? what kind of thinking is that? Or they arent thinking?eminent in what?

WTF?!?!!? this is a new one on me!! but ya know it sounds so stupid that it sounds about right for the way the scientists think now lol

Lovely, isn't it? You have to cater for the drunks now, rather than curbing the behaviour! How about shutting the pubs a bit earlier? In Australia, we have pubs and clubs open until 2am - asking for trouble. We even have railway stations where classical music is played loudly - supposedly to deter muggers and thieves. Unfortunately, you can still mug to the strains of Beethoven's 5th. Try it - you'll be pleasantly surprised!

Wow!!! I think the world has gone absolutely nuts, if they think that this is the solution. LOL What on earth makes anyone think a drunk can walk a straigh line? haha

Now that is the funniest and the craziest thing i have ever heard. instead of keeping the drunks off the street they are going to make the streets bigger so they won't be in the way!!! wow what a world

they have lost the plot for sure.it would be cheaper and easier to by a booze bus and drive them all home so they don't have to walk.most of our clubs and pubs have booze buses as we call them,and they drive their patrons home.these scientists have definately been in the lab too long.cheers sue

Okay I find this humerous and can only imagine that the scientists that figured this out must be the people doing alot of staggering. I do have one question though if you are that intoxicated and you are walking straight when will they realize they are home lol Have a great day!

Oh Pikey, Are you serious???What are they doing? They are going to fix the roads. How are they going to do that? It makes no sense to me. I could just see them doing that here in the USA. I don't think so!How is that going to fix the crimes and help drunks? That must be quite a place you live in. What will they think of next. I think they should spend more time in some other way trying to get people to stop committing crimes and drinking by punishing them not helping them by catering to them.

A Pikey spoof??..wat is that when its at home then?but it sounds like a good leg puller to me,do I look like a dummy?
