Drink And The Driver
Sir, —It is obvious that, in spite of threats of heavier penalties for drunken drivers and the almost incessant publicity given to the slogan. "It you must drink, don't drive.” an ever-increasing number of < persons commit this offence. J One would need to be singu- i larly unaware of the facts of < life in 1961 to pretend that all ‘ guilty of this breach of the ! tew are apprehended and 1 brought before the courts. It 1 has been stated many times i by those competent to ex- ’ press an opinion that from • 630 p.m. onwards on any Saturday is the most dan- , gerous period to be on the , road, either as a driver or a ( pedestrian.
