veryone is concerned about the ac-
cidents caused by drunk drivers.
Although: drinking establishments are
not to serve patrons who appear intoxicated,
can they be held responsible if a drunk patron
leaves and has an auto accident?

Today’s question is:

‘““Should bars be
responsible for
accidents caused by
patrons?”"

Robert Gardiner
Burnaby

There is not a simple
answer to this question.
The pub owner does have
a responsibility’ not to
serve drunks, but it is still
a guess on his part when a
person should be cut off.
Everyone should be
fesponsible for his own
‘behavior, but are you a
responsible person when
you have been drinking?

I think a pub should be
responsible for ing
taxis for patrons they feel
should not drive.

Tami Marks
North Vancouver

‘| think the driving age
’ should be raised ta help
the drunk driver problem.
To answer your question,
how can a pub owner
know if a patron has
already had a_ couple
beers, not to mention
other drugs. In the end,
we should be responsible
for our own behavior.

Boise Calles
North Vancouver

No. The law can only
go so far. People have to
assume responsibility for
their own behavior If a
pub owner secs a drunk
person, he should in
tervene and call a cab, but
he can’t be totally respon
Bible for everybody's
behavior

Dona Mathcson

No. We should all be
scesponsible for ourscives
If a person chooses to
drink and drive, a's bts
responsitnlity for making
that decision

Emotion vs. Economics

I just finished looking at yet another Valiant The owner in
despair because his pride and joy doesn't look too joyful
any more. After numerous years of cruising, 4 wheeling
and back seat rugby, his baby was getting ready for
another world. Not that it didn't go She could still take
the cut at 70 mph. Coughing a little Leaving paint chips
and rust crumbs in her wake Nevertheless, this fellow
figured a little body work, 4 little paint and she'd be new
again

A Hospice We're Not, Dept.

After a thorough physical on the old girl, | gave this fellow
my optnion He wasn’t thrilled | told him to drive tt: Drive
her till she drops By the time we did our usual best to her
her paint and body work would be warth more than the
car And last longer So even though he loved his Valliant,
he realized that he'd just be throwing his money away I
told him it was cheaper to be nostalgic inside his car
Actually, Pm the one who needs to see a doctor | have to
rid myself of this compulsive urge to unsell

The House of the Rising Sun, Dept.

So, as the sun sets on another Valiant saga, [d like to
look to the far East And weloome into Crash pad the
popular eastern imports Yep We can take great care of
your Honda, Toyota, Datsun or Mazda We do so many
now that we can do them with our eyes closed Which, of
course, we don't But tt's nice to know we could And rest
assured, if you've got a 1969 Datsun rustbucket and it's
worth fixing, MU tell you If it’s not, fl tefl you that too
