Compo Road
Be Safe, Don’t Drink And Drive!
Driving under the influence or DUI as it is commonly known, can be a serious safety hazard on the roads anywhere in the world today. Accidents will no doubt happen if a person who is driving a vehicle has been drinking or taking drugs and is not one hundred per cent “compos mentis”. Being under the influence of drink at the wheel of a vehicle can be compared to a blind person taking the controls of a jumbo jet or someone swimming through murky waters, so not a good idea to say the least.
Too much drinking often causes over-confidence which sometimes results in irresponsible people taking the wheel, not only putting themselves at risk but other road users also, including pedestrians. Traffic police, speed cameras and members of the public should all be seen as deterrents to anyone thinking about having a drink and then driving, however some people never learn.
If a person is either intoxicated or drunk they are a definite danger and have a greater risk of having a crash, injuring themselves or others which could result in death. There are many penalties for drink drivers such as suspending or taking driver licenses away, the confiscation of number plates, impounding the vehicle, heavy fines, or even jail sentences. None of these would be welcome to any driver, so it is imperative to stay sober whilst sitting behind the wheel of a any vehicle.
It can be quite amusing to watch on television someone who has been stopped for drink driving seeing them try to walk a “straight line” but in actual fact it is extremely dangerous to imbibe, if planning to drive home. Breathalyzers are a useful tool for police to use to test these menaces on the road but sometimes they can malfunction, making the whole operation a bit of a sham.
Taking drugs might seem to be cool but the mixture of taking them, then driving can be lethal, your senses are on a different planet and the whole world seems crazy, so taking your car out is a definite no-no.
There are many ways to save lives on the fast, modern roads of today, therefore staying away from drinking and driving is one of the main ones. Roads are being constantly improved with better lighting, good signposts and safe speed notices, so it is up to every individual to do their best, keep themselves safe while respecting the lives of others. So for your own protection, don’t drink and drive – make sure you travel with someone who is stone cold sober or leave the car at home.
