some festive advice

With the festive season approaching I thought I would like to share a personal experience with my friends about drinking and driving........

As you well know, some of us have had brushes with the authorities on our way home from an occasional social session over the years.

A couple of nights ago, I was out for an evening with friends and had a couple of pints and some rather nice red wine.

Knowing full well I may have been slightly over the limit, I did something I've never done before ~ I took a taxi home. Sure enough, I passed a police road block but, since it was a taxi, they waved it past.

I arrived home safely without incident, which was a real surprise; as I have never driven a taxi before and am not sure where I got it or what to do with it now that it's in my garage.

Re: some festive advice

I am not allowed to drive any more for eye reasons, but never had any driving convictions for well over 50 years.

Drinking and driving I say every motorist should be stopped and checked. Those caught ban them for life and take their cars off them to be crushed.

I bet you're a hoot at parties.
