Can't drive hardly ever drink but wouldn't do anyway. Like someone said if you can aford a drink you can afford a taxi. My daughter would never drink and drive. That is why on a works do my daughter is usually the taxi!! Son won't either and Dad doesn't have a car anyway Germaine x |

Tony, as an extra. you can be breathalysed for ANY moving traffic offence.............and THAT includes driving with a blown light bulb.............ANY reason to be stopped........you are likely to be breathalysed. I was, In MY opinion being tailgated on a slip road, by a Police van. Thinking that their need was greater than mine, moved over to make room for them to pass, got a bit close to the white line at the side of the road.(the road was cross hatched to make it single lane) They stopped me, for allegedly crossing the solid white line...... And breathalysed..... Bob |

How strange as I just mentioned this in a thread I replied to earlier. I used to drink and drive a lot to my shame, but that was years ago when there was much less information and checking done. I never drink and drive now - would rather not drink than take a risk. |

Was married to someone who regularly did!! I would never dream of it-----stick to lemonade myself. He still does it and I have had to warn my youngest never to get into his car if he ever stops to pick her up at anytime. Sue. |

No Never I was nearly killed by a drink driver. It was his 5th drink driving offence. He was only banned from driving for five years. Probably still drink driving now. Jane |

No, never. I can't understand people who are willing to take the risk. Think we should have a zero-tolerance policy towards drinking and driving. Janice |

Asolutely NOT. When we are going anywhere that will involve a drink ie any celebration event then we take it turns to be the 'drinker' so that the non drinker drives, When we go for a celebration dinner then we always go locally & get taxis there and back or the grandaughter does the one way trip to collect us if we both had a drink. Very aware the dangers of drinking & driving. wouldnt want to put ANYONE in danger. Shirley |
