Yes that is right drink driving is still an offence over the Christmas period and although you may think the police are all off getting drunk and having a laugh there are many out there to stop people from risking their lives and the lives of the people around them by drink driving.
In fact a figure has recently come out stating that 62% of men would happily drive after drinking around the Christmas period whereas 34% of women think the same. On top of this shocking figure it has been said that 10% of people would get into a car when they know for a fact the driver has had a few drinks. This fact is silly as you could end up being killed.
Last year over 9,000 people were arrested across both England and Wales as police cracked down on these people. Of course Christmas is a very relaxing time of year but it does not mean the police are going to relax the law on drink driving. Just walk home, everyone else on Christmas Day is doing the same thing!
The thing is if you are caught drink driving then you will automatically get banned from driving for a selected time as well as a big fine and if you are really unlucky you could even end up in prison. You never know you might be the one guy the judge wants to make an example of.
So after that Christmas Dinner and those fun family times with the drinking involved too it is just best to crash at one of your family members if they are closer to you than your own home. The best thing to do is just not to take your car in the first place.
On the plus side if you are looking at getting a new car it could really be worth looking into car leasing or van leasing as it could save you a lot of money. Of course you could go for the specific manufacturer and look into Audi Leasing
