Welcome
Drink Driving
The following advice has been taken from the Think! road safety website and we acknowledge any copyright. Further information and advice about driving can be found at Think! and The Highway Code websites.
There's no excuse for drink driving. Any amount of alcohol affects your ability to judge speed and distance and slows down reaction times.
The number of people killed in drink-related accidents has dropped over the years, but drivers still need to be reminded of the risks - and the penalties they face if caught.
Key facts
If you're convicted of drink driving you'll:
- Lose your licence for 12 months (which could mean you lose your job)
- Face a maximum fine of £5,000
- Face up to six months in prison
- Pay up to three times as much for car insurance
