I wish that our government would play similar films in this country - maybe then some of the idiots that are on our roads might just think twice. I had to attend an incident only yesterday where a pedestrian had jay-walked across a busy traffic signal controlled junction, and failed to take into account traffic emerging from one direction; the end result for the car wasn't pretty, let alone the pedestrian. The really sad bit is that there was a crossing less than 30ft away.

Very good indeed. That should be played on as many TV stations over here too. If an ad like that saves just one life, I don't care how many people it upsets or offends. Too many people still see drink driving as no big deal....well IT IS a big deal and any scumbag caught drink driving, whether they have an accident or not, should be locked up for a long long time.

I think one of our bigger problems on this subject is the assumption that many make in terms of being able to drink x amount and still be able to drive competently.

Imho, it ought to be zero. Drink nothing if you want to drive, drink anything and put the keys down.

I don't see why it would be so difficult for people to follow.

i totally agree on the zero alcohol thing. maybe not actually zero, as certain medication can mean you do give a small reading, or if you had one drink the night before and still have a tiny amount in your system, but certainly a lot less than it is now.
personally, i would put up roadblocks and test everyone, but then if i were in charge, you wouldn't dare drink and drive for fear of what would happen to you.

Totally agree with all you guys i see idiots doing it all the time at work, should be zero tolerance on drink driving.

Should be zero tolerance on drink driving.

I like a good drink and I like to drive but never mix the two... I think the drink drive limit should be 0 IE if you have had ANYTHING alcoholic to drink then you cant drive
