Here is what you can expect when caught for drinking and driving:

• A criminal record
  
  
• A minimum 12 months driving ban or a minimum of a 3 year driving ban if you have a previous drink driving conviction in the past 10 years
  
  
• The possibility of a short spell in prison (up to 6 months)
  
  
• The possibility of receiving a community order (this can include, unpaid work, curfew, supervision and treatment orders)

These are just some of the things a person can expect when they are convicted of a drink driving offence. The penalties are severe. Is it really worth the risk? Well the simple answer is NO - NEVER!!

If you drink and drive, not only are you jeopardising yourself, you are putting other road users at risk.

If you are reading this now, you or someone you know may have already been arrested for and/or convicted of drink driving. Perhaps you have been affected by drinking and driving in some other way? Maybe you are researching the subject?

Why not introduce yourself in our drink driving forum. Here you will find help, advice, guidance and support from other members of the drinkdriving.org community.

While we DO NOT condone drink driving in any way shape or form, we do realise people make mistakes, nobody is perfect and we have a section of the drink driving forum specifically for people who have been convicted/charged of/with drink driving. So please don't be afraid to join our drink driving forum and contribute, everyone who posts in this section is in the same boat.

There is also a section of the drinkdriving.org forum for people who have been adversely affected by those who drink and drive, victims of drink drivers. Whether they have lost loved ones or suffered injury or loss, they can discuss and support one another here. People who share their stories can connect with other people who may have found themselves in a similar position and sharing their experiences can only help raise awareness about some of the drastic consequences that can happen due to drinking and driving.

Our aim is to provide an open online community and a comprehensive information resource for all people who have been affected by drinking and driving in any and every way imaginable.

From the history of UK drink driving laws, information on alcohol breathalyzers and blood alcohol content to cheap drink driving insurance, convicted drivers insurance quotes and free legal advice. We aim to supply the information and services people need.

We raise awareness about the dangers and possible consequences of drinking and driving and help those who have been affected recover and learn from mistakes. Preventative measures, raising awareness, education, rehabilitation, help, support and advice all go a long way to achieving our goal.
