    A warning to be careful about drink driving as we are getting close to Christmas and the cops are out there checking on people.

    Last night I was out for a few drinks. One thing lead to another and I had a few too many pints and then went onto the spirits,(a good idea at the time) bourbon and coke just does it for me though.

    Anyway, knowing I was over the limit, I decided to leave me car there and took a taxi home.
    Sure enough, I passed a police checkpoint at the top of the road where they were pulling over cars and doing breath and other sobriety tests at the roadside.

    Because I was in a taxi they just waved it past. I arrived home safely and without incident, which was a real surprise as I've never driven a taxi in me life before and I'm not even sure where the hell I got it from...

    Be careful out there folks. Lots of idiots around.

    There is a simple rule.
    If you drink, don't drive.
    If you drive, don't drink.

    Anyway that is what you did.

    Problem is drink changes mentality and people lose inhibitions . Its best to make decision when sober to put the car keys away in safe place before going for a pint .

    'Twas a great night Alf, you owe me a bourbon and coke though. Anyway, saw your post and figured I'd burst the bag so avoided the top of the road and drove the long way around, singing all the way. You on for the cure later?

    Jokes better if you took a bus home. Saying you've never driven a taxi before doesn't make sense.

    That was the magic Christmas taxi that brings drunks home around the Christmas period. The rest of the year he's a troll that eats children. Nice guy.

    You can drink and drive as long as it isn't alcohol ;)

    WTF ?!?!?!?


    Be careful as the cops are out checking on people ?
    Thats a fecking scandalous attitude.

    Be careful about drinking and driving all right - but you shouldnt do it, because it is irresponsible and a serious danger to yourself and everyone else.
