Drink driving is a lot less socially acceptable these days than it was a few years ago when it was seen as "bad luck" to get caught.

I guess that until we have zero tolerance then there will always be some that think it's OK because they are "good drivers"

I have to agree with all the comments and thank you for posting the link. Yes, it is very graphic and all credit must go to the young lady and her family for allowing the pictures to be shown.

I just hope it does stop those selfish, ignorant people who will not stop at one, two, three and so on because they think their capacity is so huge like their egos.

Zero tolerance is the way forward or simply calling a cab.

What worries me is the growing number of drivers who continue to drive whilst under the influence of drugs.

Damn, that poor girls life because of someones carelessness. I wish I could have showed my cousin it a few months ago before he killed himself drink driving and ruined his friends life at the same time...

I used to race in motocross events as a kid and remember vividly watching a lad of 14 (I was around 11 at the time) crash and break his spine - he was paralysed thereafter.. Trouble is when you're young you just don't believe it will happen to you, only age and the mortality of those close to you bring the message home.

The problem with drink driving is that it seems to afflict all kinds of people, not just those of whom it's expected.

My god that video hits hard though, and if it works for just some people then it's achieved it aim.

Best wishes to everyone for the New Year.
