Drink-Driving!


Drinking whilst under the influence of alcohol is not only irresponsible, but it is extremely dangerous. It is not only a danger to the person who is driving the car, but also to the passengers in the vehicle, other innocent road users and pedestrians. Some people may think they are alright to drive after consuming just a small amount of alcohol; however, research shows that your judgment is impaired after any amount of alcohol. http://www.dft.gov.uk/think/focusareas/driving/drinkdriving

The consequences of drinking and driving can be fatal. Footballer Kills Kids Two children lost their lives due to an irresponsible driver, stated by experts to be that ‘drunk’, he was “at best semi-conscious.” Not only has the father of the two boys lost his two sons due to the accident, but he is also paralysed. Nobody can imagine what the family are going through; all we do know is their lives have been destroyed. All due to the irresponsible decision made to drive whilst under the influence of alcohol. These consequences could have been avoided. There is no excuse for drink-driving and there is nothing else to be said on the subject other than it is wrong!

  1. I totally agree with Laura, it is devastating what irresponsible drinking can do. Is it worth all the heartache, just for the sake for an extra glass... I sometimes don't think the fine or ban are justification for the death of a loved one....
