    Good post. Reminds everyone of how dangerous a car is and the consequences of drink driving.

    Shock tactics like that are more likely to make people laugh. Like those road safety ads RTE used to have.

    tbh I can't see the point of those shock tatic ads either,it's not like you can scare sense into a moron.

    You have to be about as sharp as a loaf of bread and totally defiant to drink and drive,and there's no hope for someone like that,which is a real shame as they are probably alright people for the most part.

    What amazes me is the amount of Gardaí getting done for it with no reprimand

    Care to elaborate? I only ever recall two or three being convicted of a section 49 offence.
