Summary
Drink driving related accidents is still an ongoing problem in the No-Go for Drink Driving.
There has been a significant success in reducing the number of people killed in drink drive related collisions over the last 15 years, yet drink driving remains a serious, life threatening issue. A recent estimate stated that around 3,000 people are killed or seriously injured on our roads each year. Plus, it is probably of no surprise to you that the highest number of fatalities are motorcyclists. Current figures have shown that there has been a large increase in young riders killed who have been over the specified alcohol limit. We have all witnessed the television adverts, which use the shock tactics in the hope that people will digest the dangers of drink driving, yet it still continues. It is the irresponsible behaviour of some individuals that not only puts their lives at risk but also those motorists who are totally innocent. Unfortunately, drink drivers have greatly contributed to the rise in car insurance premiums. Premiums have had to be substantially increased over the years to cover the claims resulting from drink driving related incidents. However, there is a revolutionary piece of technology that could dramatically reduce the number of drink driving related incidences. Its name is the “Alcolock”. It is an alcohol activated vehicle immobiliser! Page 2 |
