Drinking & Driving - Beware
 
Drinking & Driving - Beware



As the Christmas spirit will be flowing over the festivities I would like to share an experience with you all, about drinking and driving.



As you well know, some of us have been known to have had brushes with the authorities on our way home from the odd social session over the years.



A couple of nights ago, I was out for a few drinks with some friends and had a few too many beers and some rather nice claret.



Knowing full well I may have been slightly over the limit, I did something I've never done before - I took a bus home.



I arrived home safely and without incident, which was a real surprise, as I have never driven a bus before and am not sure where I got this one!

You are too much, Ditter! True story, many years ago a friend of mine had been out celebrating during a snow storm. On his way home, he saw a snow plow by the side of the rode. Always curious about how things work, he checked it out and low and behold he found he could start it up and actually do some plowing. He left it aproximately where he found it and went on his merry way. Oh, by the way he did not drive, had never driven and never did in the future.

Having lived around the world we find drivers where we are now are among the worst of the worst and would love to be able to pull a few license- sad part is they keep spawning new ones who learn from the old ones- and some of them do drive buses for real. Thanks for the joke

Working as an ER/trauma nurse you see way too many of these type of accidents. I don't allow anyone attending a party at our place to drink without knowing how they are getting home. I've paid for cabs, I've driven people home, two of my husbands best friends I just tell them go to your room (2 spare rooms in our place, so they both kind of have their own rooms) Now here in Ontario you blow up to a .08 they can take your license for 24 hours at least I just don't understand why people are so determined to get back behind a wheel of a car, I don't care if your going up the street there's no reason for it.
Our city also offers free OC Transpo (city bus service) free of charge, most bars offer free shuttle services, and people advertise they will drive people home.
