Better safe than sorry at this time of year.

I would like to share a personal experience about drinking and driving.

A couple of nights ago, I was out for an evening with friends and had some rather nice red wine.

Knowing full well I may have been slightly over the limit, I did something I've never done before, I took a cab home. Sure enough, I passed a police road block but, since it was a cab, they waved it past.
I arrived home safely without incident, which was a real surprise, as I have never driven a cab before and am not sure where I got it or what to do with it now that it's in my garage.

where i live 2 lads needed to get home one night. They took a double decker from the bus depot and drove it off onto the motorway.
About 10 years or so ago so i am a bit sketchy on details.
