Take that nap! - Too tired to drive

YESTERDAY’S court of appeal ruling showed we place particular emphasis on trying to eradicate drink driving as a way of making our roads safer for everyone. 

There has, over the last decade or so, been a profound cultural shift on the issue. It is no longer socially acceptable to drink and drive, especially among young people living in urban areas.

There are — as yesterday’s jailing for two years of a man who killed a young mother and seriously injured her 15-week-old child when he hit them with his car while in “a micro-sleep” showed — other issues involved in making our roads safer for everyone.
