Avoiding the risk ...

It's easy to get carried away in the high spirits of a party or other social occasion and just have 'a couple of drinks'.

This is why it's important to plan ahead. Arrange a taxi or have a designated driver who will stick to soft drinks.

A recent anti drink-drive campaign sums up attitudes to drinking and driving amongst normal law abiding adults ...

	"I only drink a pint or so. Nothing major."
	"I would never be drunk and drive - I know my limit."
	"If I've been at a party I'm careful about how much I drink and I always splash water on my face and eat something before I leave."
	"I would never exceed my limit before driving."
	"I would always check I'm sober before getting into my car... If I can walk in a straight line and have good vision then I know I'm OK."

Responsible? Do any of the above comments apply to you? If so, you are responsible ... Responsible for perpetuating the myth that there is a safe level for drinking and driving. The only 100% safe limit is none. Drinking and driving wrecks lives ... No one is immune! Enjoy your driving … Enjoy a drink, or two, or three … But avoid mixing the two together

I make no apologies for the fact that these pages might sound a bit 'moralistic'.

It's all to easy to be dead drunk... And then there is the problem of drugs and driving ...

Clicking the forward arrow will show you that it's not only illegal drugs that pose a threat ...
