A gentle Xmas warning (drink driving)

A warning to all, be careful about drink driving as we are getting close to Christmas and Police 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 cocktails and then went onto the wine. Not a good idea. Knowing I was over the limit, I decided to leave my car at the pub and took a Bus home. Sure enough, I passed a police checkpoint, where they were pulling over drivers and performing breathalyser tests. Because I was in a Bus they just waved it past. I arrived home safely and without incident, which was a real surprise as I've never driven a Bus before and I am not even sure where I got it from.

An interesting statistic.....
5% of all road accidents are caused by drink driving.
Does this mean that being sober causes the other 95%?“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Yeah, statistics don't lie so it must be much safer to drink and drive . .
Taxi that I took home a few years ago when I'd had a few is still parked in my garage. Not sure what to do with it.0
