With the festive season well and truly under way, the Police have again announced their intention to stop drivers during the early and mid morning hours to check if they are still over the drink-drive limit from the night before. Many drivers are unaware of the long lasting effects of alcohol in the system and presume that because a few hours have elapsed, and they feel better, then it’s ok to drive.

You need to be aware that if you are driving not just a car, but any vehicle, it can take upto 24 hours for alcohol to completely leave your system.
