FYI

Why we call it “drink driving.” It is not called “drunk driving” anymore as even 1 unit (and under the legal limit) affects and impairs driving skills. It is called “drink driving” internationally now, as any alcohol affects and impairs driving skills and it is not important to prove whether the person is “drunk” or not. A practiced drinker with alcohol tolerance seldom looks or feels “drunk” and can still be way over the legal limit, and a danger to self and others. In addition he/she can pass many road side sobriety tests with an extremely high BAC or Br.AC.

Please note that the United Nations have asked us/ media/ every-one to show we care, and not to call them “accidents” but “crashes” as there is usually a cause for the crash e.g. alcohol use then driving/walking, speeding, not wearing seatbelts, cell phone use, reckless overtaking, unroadworthy vehicles, etc. By calling them crashes, we also show respect for the victims of these preventable crimes. (My child Chas was not killed by “accident!” He was killed because a lady admitted to have been drinking, was tested and was apparently 4 times over the legal limit; apparently did not have her lights on; drove through a red robot at high speed; in the wrong lane, and killed Chas – who was a sober pedestrian. That was not an “accident”)
