Weird and Funny Law: Poland 'can jail drunk cyclists'

(Source: BBC News) Poland's Constitutional Court upheld a ruling this week that drunken cyclists should be treated like drunken motorists and face prison if caught.

Two thousand Poles are currently in prison for riding a bicycle whilst under the influence of alcohol.

The ruling has sparked a lively debate about whether cyclists should face such strict punishment.

The Constitutional Court ruled that drunken cyclists should be tried as criminals just as drink drivers are.

'Absurd, draconian'

Under a law passed in 2000, anyone riding a bike under the influence of alcohol faces a fine or up to two years in prison, depending on the level of their intoxication.

Many courts here apply the stricter penalty and the average sentence is 11.5 months imprisonment.

Such a state of affairs has been criticised by both the prison service and some judges.

Jaroslaw Sielecki, a 37-year-old judge from western Poland, called it absurd and draconian, adding that it can drag whole families into poverty.

He argued that intoxicated cyclists should be treated like drunken pedestrians, who face a fine rather than jail, as both use their own muscles to achieve motion.

The Constitutional Court, however, ruled that cyclists use public roads and are considerably more dangerous because of the speed they can travel.

Onehunga, Auckland, New Zealand 1-Feb-2009, David Lim, GDI

Took a spin around One Tree Hill and then to Onehunga Mall to have my favourite South Fried Chicken for late lunch. Click here for the location map of Onehunga.
Onehunga has some magnificent buildings and structure. Some of them are pretty ancient too.
No long ago a new apartment block and commercial shop lot had been built. Note that all the pictures were taken by my Nokia E71 PDA phone.

I met up Sukhchain Singh at Mt Wellington area, to burn some DVD's to on GDI Marketing to be shipped to Malaysia and India to grow our network.

New Zealand Doctor's Handwash blamed for drink-driving -- didn't wash at all!

A New Zealand doctor has been convicted of drink-driving, despite blaming an alcohol handwash he used at work.

Ian Denholm, 53, had pleaded not guilty to the charge, saying the surgical handwash put him over the legal limit.

The orthopaedic surgeon has been fined $275 (£180) and had his licence suspended for six months by a Wellington court.

Denholm was pulled over on 6 July 2007 and admitted having up to two glasses of wine.

He recorded a breath alcohol level of 593 micrograms - over the legal limit of 400 mcg - when tested at a police station.

The doctor claimed his eczema provided an extraordinary ability to absorb alcohol in the hand wash gel he used to scrub up after operations.

The judge agreed to postpone his license suspension until 23 January as Denholm is the on-call surgeon over the Christmas holiday season.
