Either way, it is arguably not worthwhile. This public display of inebriation takes place in London, where […]
There is a reason why you don’t drink and drive and why your driving license may be suspended if you do. Luckily nobody was injured in this case, except maybe some light bruises, but it demonstrates perfectly why driving under the influence is a bad idea. We don’t encourage you to do so, but it definitely should […]
Sometimes people drink too much, which is where a good friend can help you out. Then there is this guy. There is danger enough in being doubled up on a mini scooter, but both men are drunk, with no helmets, and one guy is basically sleeping on his back, while the other is continuing to drink while driving.

Drinking and driving is a practice that everyone can agree is very bad. When one’s judgement is impaired by alcohol, there’s no telling what might happen.
