I can count on 2 hands the times I've drunk driven. Where I was bought up in the sticks though it was a nightly event for most of my m8s as it was either that or not going to the pub. I love my licence too much to risk it and so just used to a pint and then switch to soft drinks. However I lost count of the times I drove stoned. There is certainly a difference in the way each one makes you drive and I always felt save when stoned. Although I am in no way condoning my behaviour.

We are 5+ million people, and every year ~300 persons die in the trafic. 100 persons could live, and a lot of people could live with 100% body function, if they weren't hit by a drunk driver.
Drunk driving is so irresponsible and lame.

Have to say though I could not drink 3 pints of lager on anything other than a full stomach and not have it impair my judgement and reactions. Maybe I'm a lightweight these days though.

I passed car and bike test in 1983 and drink drove with reckless abandon until I got done in 2005. I had a good innings. Very rarely was I pissed up, only a couple of times I couldnt remember getting home. But usually I had 3 pints sometimes 4 and wouldnt think twice about driving. If I felt pissed I would sleep at a mates but if I felt ok I would drive home.
In fairness I wouldnt have got done in 2005 except I missed my exit of M20 in the fog and got pulled in Ashford (the next junction). I have ridden a bike after a few beers too which is the closest we will get to TT3D (you arent going as fast as Guy Martin et all but it sure feels like it). I have had a few pints and then drove a 44 tonne truck to Leeds and back. Not proud of any of it but equally I dont agree it is willfully reckless on a par with pushing old biddies onto the railway lines - which is how the government try to portray it these days.
As you and others have said before; unless you live in a major city you have to drink and drive or you would never get home from the pub

I jest. Great video, should be compulsory viewing, part of everyone's driving instruction.....

When younger I was as stupid as the next kid. I'm still stupid now but I don't drink and drive these days.
Well put together advert but I doubt it made much difference. I think we are close to where accident statistics flat line. Humans are falible and with so many driving there will always be a toll at some level.
