Brake calls for zero tolerance on Christmas drink driving

Road safety charity Brake has today called for a zero tolerance approach when it comes to drinking and driving this Christmas, as a survey reveals a shockingly casual attitude towards it among some young drivers.

A survey co-published by Brake and Direct Line insurance has found that almost one in three (29 percent) are planning on driving after having a drink, while perhaps more dangerously, more than half (53 percent) say they'll get behind the wheel the morning after a major Yuletide drinking binge.
