With Christmas nearly upon us I would like to share a personal experience with you about drinking and driving.
As you may know Northamptonshire Constabulary are having a serious go at Drink Drivers from 1st December this year.
Well, a couple of days ago I was out for an evening with friends and had a small number of drinks before dinner, followed by some rather nice red wine. Feeling "jolly" I had the sense to know that I may be very slightly over the limit.
That's when I did something that I've never done before - I took a black taxi home.
Sure enough on the way home there was a police road check, but since it was a taxi they waved it past. I arrived home safely without incident.
This was a real surprise as I had never driven a taxi before, I don't know where I got it and now that it's in my garage I don't know what to do with it.
Any ideas?
