DRINKING-DRIVING BLITZ CONTINUES THE COST OF DRINKING IS GOING UR "It cost me my car" really hacks you off, you know? It really HR| levels your whole social life for a year— and the worst thing is — it's your own silly fault. lillSl ’ We’d rubbished this touring B team; so we ■ , . scored a few beers at the club; and driving IF home after, I get stopped in the blitz, you know? It was incredible, I was driving really careful. Ife » but I didn’t signal this right turn and this traffic ||i| | 1 officer pulls me over. fHB|I /jag He asks if I’ve been drinking. “Not much” iSftS I say; and he puts me on the bag. And in 20 ||gr MISSI ; ' seconds I’ve blown my licence. For a year it Sb turns out, at the Court. |||| lor So now, for the next year the car rusts in |fe| the back yard or I sell it, you know? So I sell it. m|| And the real guts is I’ve lost my Sfc. independence. I can’t go where and when I want. I’m stuck without my wheels, you know? It's not even funny. W drinking-driving the cost is too high.
