I would like to share an experience with you about drinking and driving. As you well know, some of us have been known to have had brushes with the authorities on our way home from the odd social session over the years.



A couple of nights ago, I was out for a few xmas drinks with some friends and had a few too many beers and some rather nice claret.



Knowing full well I may have been slightly over the limit, I did something I've never done before - I took a bus home. I arrived back safely and without incident which was a real surprise since I had never driven a bus before and am not sure where I got this one from.

David Next time when you are fueled by booze and have this urge to act responsibly steal a taxi instead of a bus so that you can give your pals a lift home, add an extortionate additional "night charge" to the fare, break all traffic laws with impunity, and frighten the crap out of them with your driving skills !

I was guilty of drink driving last night, but there is reason behind it.



The number of people killed last year as a direct result of alcohol abuse was 35,000.

The number of people killed last year as a direct result of driving a car was 22,000.



The number of people who were killed last year as a direct result of drinking AND driving was 500.



I'm not taking any ******* chances.

A university lecturer, a secondary school teacher and a special school teacher all have their driving licences confiscated for driving under the influence. Outside the police station, they decide to try to persuade the police to let them off.



As the cleverest, the university lecturer goes to make the first attempt, but after 10 minutes he comes out and says: "It's no use. They're not going to give us our licences back."



The secondary school teacher goes in next, but he comes out after 10 minutes with his head hanging and says: "No chance."



Finally, the special school teacher goes in. He comes out of the police station after 5 minutes smiling with all three driving licences in his hand.



"How the f**k did you manage that?" says the university lecturer.



"No problem at all. They were all in my class at school.

There were two Dutchmen who missed the last bus home after a night on the beer.

Wim has a bright idea.... "let's borrow a bus from the depot and drive it home"

So they do that. Hans sneaks into the depot and Wim can hear the revving of engines and the crashing of gears as the buses are being shunted around. Eventually Hans emerges in a bus.

Wim; "Why did you take so long about it? Why all the shunting?

Hans; "The number 21 bus we needed was at the back of the row."

Wim; "You fool! There was a number 18 right at the front, we could have walked from there."

Mr prudence strictly observed all road safety measures he had been made aware of, do not drink and drive, "clunk" "click" every trip, use the Green Cross Code, wear something white at night, etc. Unfortunately he was knocked over and killed by a snowplough.

Have a good Christmas

An Ex-Pat was stopped by the police. They found that he hadn't been drinking. His car was taxed, mot'd and insured. They checked his tyres and lights and found them all in order. He was fined 130TL for wasting police time.
