He's in his early 60s, drives a van and is convinced that alcohol won't impair his judgement.

Today he was drinking several glasses of wine at his son's house before driving for an hour to return back. We live close by and I noticed the state he was in.
I really lost it today, he could have killed someone. I've messaged his son but I short of reporting him, what on earth can I do.?

I've sat down with him and made him read the RAC facts on drink driving, the met police facts on jail/licence removal etc.
He's nodding but deep down I know he won't really listen.
Any suggestions?

I would report him. What will ruin his life more. A driving fine/conviction for driving under the influence or killing someone?

Report. It’s the only way people like this MIGHT learn.

Report him before he kills somebody.

Obviously report him

Report him. I wouldn’t think twice before doing so.

Report him. It’s that simple.

Report him.

I'm usually very much a mind my own business type of person but he could literally kill someone
