[QUOTE="Montalban, post: 56752204, member: 23753"] Information about drink driving (as we call it) can be found [B][URL="http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/roadsafety/alcoholdrugs/bac/index.html"]here[/URL][/B] However I'm not sure if there's a national standard. Diplomats can claim diplomatic immunity. They don't have to. Visiting 'dignitaries' may not be able to claim it. I remember an SMH article in the 80s that did a survey of the diplomatic missions and what they claimed immunity for. An Egyptian did so over rape. Some did over driving/traffic offences. The Vatican City made no claims of diplomatic immunity. Thus you might even be a diplomat and your state might waive the right to claim diplomatic immunity. There's a table [B][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplomatic_immunity#Diplomatic_immunity_in_the_United_States"]here[/URL][/B] that concerns what the US grants. It could help as a guide. You'll note that not all staff of a mission are covered. If you've a legal mind the Act concerned can be found [B][URL="http://www.aph.gov.au/library/pubs/bd/2004-05/05bd141.htm"]here[/URL][/B] Can't help you there [/QUOTE]
