Trigger Warning - We discuss drink driving throughout.

Drink Driving - The government rules are that you can have one drink and drive, but what happens once that one is down the hatch - are you still able to make smart choices and not have another?

Vic got behind the wheel when under the influence in her early 20's. She ended on in jail for the night. The experience had impact, but not enough to stop her drinking. Today she chats about what went down that night and the humiliation involved when doing something so stupid. They will also talk to Penny, a mum who crashed a car and faced the shame and embarrassment of being in the local paper and how the incident helped her turn her life around.

We hope today you sober awkward people out there will learn a little bit about why people drink and drive, the impact it has on their lives and the lives of the people around them. we’ll talk about the amount you have to drink to make driving a danger and if there is anything that can be changed to stop people getting in the car when under the influence.

Note - there are not as many knob jokes as usual
