🚨 Shocking Stats: Drink & Drug Driving on the Rise Last Christmas! 🚓
Can you believe it? Over the last festive season, hundreds of drivers in South Wales were nabbed for hitting the road under the influence! A whopping 172 were charged, with some found to have consumed the equivalent of a full bottle of wine or EIGHT pints before driving! 🍷🍺
Here’s what went down: 116 arrests were made for drink driving, and sadly 85 of those cases led to charges. But it didn’t stop there—drug drivers were on the radar too, with 103 arrests and 81 charges.
The most frequent bust? Late nights, between 10 pm and 1 am. 🌙
Sobering fact: Drink-driving is responsible for 17% of ALL road deaths in the UK. Many are unaware of how much alcohol is considered “safe,” often overestimating what they can handle. For clarity, the legal drink-drive limit is roughly equal to two pints of standard-strength lager or two small glasses of wine for men, and slightly less for women.
The truth? Alcohol affects everyone differently based on weight, gender, and even what you’ve eaten. The safest bet if you plan to drive? Skip the booze entirely.
Let’s spread awareness and keep our roads safe this Christmas. 🎄✨
Stay informed and drive responsibly! #SafeDriving #ZeroLimit #RoadSafety
