ROP gets tougher on motorists

Today there's emails flying around the ex-pat community on the two hot topics of the moment:

1. The terrible incident that happened at the Blue Marlin marina restaurant and pool on Friday, blogged about so movingly by Suburban at Other Oman.

and,

2. The ROP now have 4 roaming RBT units. RBT stands for Random Breath Testing. The ANZO committee (who's ball is coming up in a few short weeks - super excited!) sent out an email to members this afternoon, and the story has been doing the rounds on various other email groups in town too. There is a ZERO tolerance level here for alcohol, so the concept of just one or two and I'll be fine is out the window - anything over 0.0 and you'll be having tea with the ROP. Not sure on what the penalty is for being found with alcohol in your breath, but hopefully some helpful person will comment it.

So just remember - don't drink and drive!

le fin.
