Rather an effective "Don't drink and drive" message

Here, but please don't look if children are present or you're easily upset

bl**dy hell

god - i feel sick !!

Absolutely shocking . Poor woman, I don't think I could live like that.

Brave though - incredible woman.

bloody hell hinker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What on earth are you doing looking stuff like that up?

Can't believe that that beautiful girl has been so transformed.

God that's grim. Definitely effective though.

I think the current tv campaign where the girl appears to be run over in the restaurant is also extremely shocking and effective.

It was from this news site - I'm not googling for D&D campaign messages!

Poor girl.

OMG. What an incredible woman.

But you know what, that could have happened if the driver wasn't drunk. 1 in 6 road accidents are caused by drunk drivers. That means 5 out of 6 aren't.

if there were NO drink drivers just think how fewer accidents there would be in a year!

Thats awful!

A friend was killed by a drink driver.

The car had pulled over at the side of the road to drop him off and he had got out the car and walked round the back to get his bag at the boot.

A drink driver approached at 70mph (in a 30mph limit), swerved at him for reasons we will never know and hit him. All his friends in the car heard was a swoosh as he was sent flying a 100ft down the road. Almost every bone in his body was broken. He died instantly.

The driver abandaned the vehicle a short way away and tried to get his girlfriend to lie for him that he had been with her all night and hadnt driven. Largely because he already had a conviction for drink driving. So - some people never learn.

He was just 30 and due to get married that Summer.

I've used that argument too, C (actually I thought it was a higher proportion than 1:6) - "that means that n accidents are caused by drivers who are sober, shouldn't we stop them driving, haha" - but if the accidents caused by the drunk drivers would be preventable if the drunk ones hadn't driven then they should be prevented, shouldn't they?

actually it's 1 in 6 road DEATHS are caused by drunk drivers

Oh definitely. But my point is, that people get morally outraged by drunk drivers but not by tailgaters, speeders etc., who are just as dangerous - and there are more of them on the road.

You must have a link, QoQ? You're usually good at those!

Ohhhh yes, iswym. "Don't be an idiot when driving" covers it but there isn't a breath test for that. (And most of us do idiotic things occasionally - I know I do )

oh there's a few - that one was from here

Some more interesting ones here

i think to a certain extent you are already an idiot of you decide to drink and drive, no?

another

I do wish that instead of eg "20,000 killed or injured" they would say "500 killed, 19,500 injured".
