“Last month the government released the latest update on their Reported Drinking And Driving statistical data set, which goes back as far as 1979. That’s 40 years of data! When we went through it we found a lot of alarming stats that we felt needed to be brought to the attention of our customers and the wider general public, so read on to find out the latest on the drink driving situation as it stands today.

Let’s start with the good news shall we? If you refer to the graphic shown here, you’ll see that over the past 40 years the number of drink-driving related accidents has fallen dramatically from 19,470 to 5,890, a decline of 70%. This drop has also reduced total casualties by 72% and the number of fatalities by 85%, all great news. However, that’s where the good news ends.”
