Drink driving quotes...Drinking and driving: there are stupider things, but it's a very short list.
It takes 8,460 bolts to assemble an automobile, and one nut to scatter it all over the road. ~Author unknown, as seen on a bumper sticker.

A tree never hits an automobile except in self defense. ~American Proverb

Recklessness is a species of crime and should be so regarded on our streets and highways. ~Marlen E. Pew

How come most people who drive drunk get into car accidents but don't barely get hurt, but when you get into accidents and you aren't drunk you get hurt or end up dying?It is said that the reason is, they are SO relaxed, due to being intoxicated they sometimes walk away. However, a sober person tenses up and panics, causing injuries.
When a person is drunk there motor functionsare slowed and causes them to be relaxed when they are in an accident. Since they are relaxed they actually go with the force that is being put on the car limiting their damage.
shock makes the body tense up, making it easier to break bones on impact, a drunk person would be more like putty, and have alot less injuries.
Public opinions sway on drink driving punishment

19 May 2010

Public opinions sway towards tougher stance on drug driving and drink driving.

A recent survey from the road safe charity brake and car insurance company Direct Line has found that more than half the public want the legal blood-alcohol limit reduced by three quarters.

The survey also found that over 90% of UK drivers also supported a change in the law that would enable anyone driving on "impairing" drugs to be prosecuted, in a similar way that drink-drivers are. The law in the UK currently states that a prosecution can only be brought against a "drug-driver" if the police also have evidence that she/ he was driving badly.

Research by Brake shows that someone driving with the maximum permitted level of alcohol is five times more likely to crash than if they were driving without any alcohol in their system.

The results of this new survey identify that UK drivers also favour a lower drink-drive limit, with seven out of 10 saying that the current limit of 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood should be lowered.

Since a reform in drink driving laws in Ireland in December 2009, Britain and Malta are the only remaining European countries with a drink-drive limit higher than the EU-recommended limit of 50mg alcohol per 100ml blood. Through blood alcohol testing many drivers could find themselves breaking the law if they were to drive with 51 mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood which has more than 400 drivers poled by Brake and Direct Line calling for a new drink drive limit across the UK to 20mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood.

Cathy Keeler, deputy chief executive of Brake, said: "Our drink-drive limit and drug-drive laws are hopelessly out of touch with public opinion and the weight of evidence showing just how dangerous it is to mix drink or drugs - or both - with driving."

An official review of drink-driving law is widely expected to recommend cutting the legal limit to 50mg. The Government believes this would prevent 65 deaths and 230 serious injuries a year.
