With the Xmas Holidays upon us I would like to share a personal experience with the forum about drinking and driving.

As you may know some of us have been known to have brushes with the authorities from time to time on the way home after a "social session" out with friends.

Well, two days ago I was out for an evening with friends and had several beers followed by some rather nice red wine. Feeling jolly I still had the sense to know that I may be slightly over the limit. That's when I did something that I've never done before - I took a Taxi home.

Sure enough on the way home there was a police check point, but since it was a Taxi they waved it past. I arrived home safely without incident. This was a real surprise as I had never driven a cab before, I don't know where I got it and now that it's in my garage I don't know what to do with it.!

Lol at Roadking laugh


On a more serious note though, the eldest son of a good mate of mine was killed by a drink driver earlier this year cry
