As many teenage girls take their time washing their hair, doing their make-up and picking out just the right clothes for their weekend, and heading off to a club, a party or even just a quiet drink in the pub, they do not expect that anything could go wrong.
The story has always been one of similarity. After having a few drinks, the designated driver who attempted to stick to the limit has gone over, and in the heat of the moment decides he will drive home his friends, whilst curfew is looming, this offer seems tempting and you accept. Although on occasions, you will get home fine. The price of you life is not one I would be willing to pay, how about you?
David Latham of South East Ambulance service recently explained in an interview how dangerous it is to drink and drive, and the ideas that they have put in place in an attempt to stop it. 'Carmageddon' is the latest idea put forward by a road safety campaign. This aims to teach teenagers what is it like to be in a car accident by staging one. This has been done in the hope that teenagers will realize that they need to drive more safely.
It can be hard to resist getting in that car whilst all your friends are leaving with the driver, but there are other safer ways to get home without risking your life. An alternative to this is to get a taxi home, however, it is important to make sure that you are using a licensed service.
