I expect habitual drink drivers will not let this story impact in their
behaviour
the best way to do that is to increase the probability of them
being caught
random breath testing anyone?

it sounds like an awful hassle to me. A breath-tester in every car -- while
the idea burns my ass, would be less hassle. Also, it might be valuable to
encourage drinking near home so people could walk back.

The fear of getting caught and reasonable public transport (1) means that
drink-driving in urban areas is largely a thing of the past in the UK. However,
in rural areas the problem is more complex
public transport is limited, the
distances can be greater and pubs are often a focal point for communities.
