I would like to share a personal experience with you all about drinking and driving.
As you know,some of us have, I'm sure had brushes with the law from time to time often on the way home after a social session with friends and family.
Well two days ago this happened to me.
I was out with friends and had more than a few pints and a few Bacardis.Although relaxed I still had the common sense to know I was over the limit. So I did something sensible and I took the bus home.
Sure enough on the way home I saw police stopping and breathalising people but they waved the bus through and I arrived home safely and without incident.
This was a real surprise to me, as I've never driven a bus before and now it's on the drive and I don't know how to return it without getting in trouble... Any ideas ?????

On Irish TV & newspapers at the moment, there is a very simple to understand advice advert concerning drinking & driving.

It contains one photo of 4 different vehicles lined up neatly on the road. Vehicle 1 is a Taxi. Vehicle 2 is a police car. Vehicle 3 is an ambulance & vehicle 4 is a hearse.

The powerful caption at the bottom of the photo simply enquires - 'Which of these vehicles is taking you home from the pub tonight?'
