Dear Editor:
Re: Seaspan Chairman Handed Driving Ban, June 19 news story
Mr. (Kyle) Washington must like the Canadian justice system. He engaged in irresponsible behaviour by taking a prescription sleeping pill and then going to a club where he drank enough to give him blood alcohol readings of .110 and .100.
These readings are in excess of the legal limit of .08. His lawyer claimed that he had never taken the drug before. His doctor or pharmacist would have warned him, or should have warned him, that the consumption of alcohol after taking the drug would not be wise. In any event the drug did not produce the over-the-limit blood alcohol readings.
It is nice to know that he does good work to help at-risk youths and adults. This good work is negated by the fact that he is prepared to over-indulge in alcohol consumption, drive his vehicle and put other road users at risk.
