If you have had ANY alcohol don’t get behind the steering wheel

When arranging parties work out how people you have invited will get to the party, arrange for a non drinking driver to collect and take them home, hire a minibus or taxi.

The “morning after” make sure everybody knows it takes hours for alcohol to leave the body, drivers are still over the limit when they drive to work or drop the children to school.

Did you know research tells us one in five drink driving offenses in the UK are by employees driving to work and still very much over the limit.

Drink drivers will be treated like any other criminal, you will be facing giving blood and DNA samples and of course locked in a police cell.

Did you know:
– 1 in 4 of all deaths on the road involve drivers over the legal alcohol limit. – Hundreds of people are killed in drink/driving related road crashes and thousands are seriously injured. – Out of over half a million breath tests each year over 100,000 are found to be positive.

Did you know if you get convicted for drink driving in the UK you will:
– Lose your driving license for at least 12 months. – If driving for work, lose your license. – Have to pay a large fine. – Have to pay up to three times as much for car insurance. – Get at least 14 years in prison if you caused a death by careless driving.

Employers risk assess your parties, make your employees aware of drinking and driving.
