Driving and Driving!!

Drinking and then Driving is illegal!! It's as simple as that...yet so many people carry on breaking the law. If the police caught someone drinking and driving, or driving over the limit of alcohol consumption, then their licence would get revoked. They would have to go to court, they'll also be banned from driving for as long as the judge wants them to be banned for, depending on their drinking offence. The consequences are very bad, yet everyone still decide to break the law and drink and drive. Also, passengers get into the cars of others knowingly that they are over the drinking limit to drive.

I think that unless you actually know that you aren't going to be driving home you shouldn't consume any alcohol. I think that if people want to go out on a night out, or are at family and friends houses and know they are going to drink alcohol, then they should have a designated driver or even a taxi's number.

Sometimes drinking and driving is very easy to get away with, as at night if you drive slow and there's no police around, you will most likely not get caught. Therefore this is why so many people take the risk and not only risk their lives, but they might have passengers in their cars, or they might get into an accident with another car, or even walkers by. Therefore it's always safer to be than sorry.

I would recommend that everyone should wear a seat belt as well during any driving. Even if you are driving slow, you can still get into an accident as anything is possible. Therefore one, you should drink and drive and two, you should at all times wear a seat belts. Even if your in the back of a three door car, and it's cramped at the back, there are seat belts there for a reason. And that is to protect you.

If you drive at two times the legal alcohol limit you are at least thirty times more likely to cause a road crash, than a driver who hasn't been drinking.
