Anyone thinking of drinking and driving over Christmas can be assured that police will be out in force, and will not hesitate to stop and breathalyse anyone they suspect of driving whilst under the influence.
Driving today is very different to what it was say, 20 years ago with more crowded roads. Couple that with extended life expectancies and it is clear that our roads will get even busier.
TV and radio stations will shortly commence playing the latest anti drink driving campaigns.
The 2008 “Think” campaign will be directed predominantly towards increasing awareness of the affects of alcohol, particularly in younger drivers between the ages of 21 to 30 years old.
Whilst drink driving occurs across all age bands, the younger generation are considered most likely to offend.
Not all drink drivers however, are likely to find themselves over the limit deliberately. The spiking of drinks and effects of some medication can often cause individuals to be over the limit.
If you are a driver, be cautious, buy your own drinks and be particularly careful to steer clear of any alcoholic drink if you are on medication.
If you are a passenger, don’t even think about spiking a driver’s drink, no matter how funny or cool you think it may be.
You are risking your own, and every other person riding in the car along with the possible livelihood of the driver who was kind enough to drive you around whilst you celebrated Christmas.
Don’t be too surprised if they don’t thankyou if you do!
