The Impact of Drink Driving
Nearly half a million people in the UK convicted of drink driving in the last decade!
Nearly 4,000 of these convictions ended in prison sentences, many from causing death by dangerous driving.
6.6% of people have admitted driving knowingly over the limit.
We all know that many people won’t have answered this survey 100% honestly and these figures can only be higher
Many people in the UK drink every night as a habit. 6-8 cans of lager, cider or a bottle or two of wine to unwind. Some will smoke a few joints or tuck into a bag of cocaine.
These same people travel into your businesses to work for the day still over the limit. Some are even driving around in your branded company vehicles.
If they kill a young family travelling to school in your work van because they are under the influence, this will not only cause heartbreak for the victims families and friends for life, but it will impact that employee and your business too.
We understand that ultimately it’s the staff member who will make the decision to jump in that vehicle after drinking but as a business you can do more to educate your employees around the impact of alcohol and drugs.
We will come to your business and talk openly about our story of addiction and alcohol problems in the workplace. We have lived and breathed it.
