To the editor,
Re: Alcohol available onboard B.C. Ferries starting this week, Oct. 24.
I am not happy about B.C. Ferries’ decision to sell alcohol. I understand they could use the revenue. At what expense?
It will be a good court case for the first accident leaving the boat. Really, who drives? A husband and wife have a drink or two each with lunch. They then get in there car.
It makes me wonder really what people at the top making huge salaries are thinking. I am sure someone right now is thinking up a good ICBC scam. That’s a whole other story. (I know why they are losing millions of dollars.)
Back to the idiots at the wheel. It is illegal for a driver or passenger to drink in a car. Even if you have the engine off. You are not allowed to sit in your car anywhere to drink. What I know to be true is after one drink your brain wants another. That is a dangerous scenario for me and my grandkids to go see my dad in Point Roberts. B.C. Ferries is putting people’s lives at risk, period. I would like to see what a lawyer thinks about this decision.
