Drinking & Driving Quotes

Tick the boxes beside the quotes that would worry you if you were a driver.


	"Your reactions aren't as quick, so you are more likely to have an accident on the road but you don't really think about that when you are drinking. But, I suppose you should."

	"Quite a lot of my mates drink lots of alcohol. For me, I hardly touch it. A few of my friends say that they have drunk drived. They've had four drinks and say they're fine."

	"If you are out at night, cruising about you get a lot of younger ones that are all drunk and they can be a wee bit of hassle sometimes running across the road."

	"If you know you can handle your drink and still be safe then do it, I would say."

	"One or two pints or a double vodka or whisky or something."

	"I go against alcohol because I don't drink myself, it is against my religion."

	"I would say there is quite a number of people that I know that drink and drive and I don't see the point in it.' I know one personally who has just lost their licence for it, who crashed."

	I don't think you should drink at all when you're driving. Because I know how drink affects you when you're not driving and you have to think about a lot more things when you are driving so if you are not even able to walk down the road how are you expected to ride a bike or drive a car. It could be really dangerous and obviously it has shown in a lot of cases it is."

	"If they've had a drink then I would not get in the car at all."

	"People who drink and drive to be cool once again deserve to die because really there's nothing fun about it or cool. And people who do think it's cool also deserve to be in the car with them. I shouldn't be saying that - that's horrible, oh man!"

	"Being a driver I never take even one drink just because I know what it does to me, even with one drink, I don't think I should be in control of anything. So I just make it a rule if I take my car out then I don't have a drink. And it's the responsibility I have for having a car."

Choose the quote that most suits your opinion. Then extend it to give your reasons and examples of what might happen in a situation where the driver had been drinking. Make up your own quote if you would prefer.
