🚨 **Drink Driving Wake-Up Call: Nearly 100 a Day Getting Caught!** 🚨
Shocking stats reveal that nearly 100 drivers a day have been caught drink-driving in the UK over the past three years. A total of 108,000 drivers faced drink-drive endorsements between 2022 and 2024. The biggest culprits? Those aged 25-39, with a staggering 48,000 offenders! Even more alarming, over 1,800 people were killed or seriously injured in drink-drive incidents in 2023 alone. 🚗💥
This revelation has fuelled calls for stricter laws and a shift in mindset among drivers. At risk is not just your licence, but your hard-earned cash. For those who drive for work, being caught could cost up to £80,000 in lost earnings, legal fees, and insurance hikes. 🤯
Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander might soon cut the drink-drive limit from 35 to 22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath. This would match Scotland’s limits and align with most of Europe, where limits are lower. The goal? To make “none for the road” the new norm and keep our roads safer for everyone.
Remember, a single drink could cost more than you think – it might just save lives to choose an alcohol-free cocktail instead. Let’s shift our gear towards safety and make responsible choices behind the wheel! 🚦💪
Stay tuned for updates on any legal changes and let’s work towards making our roads safer together. 🌍❤️
