In my opinion, if you are stupid enough to drive like that, you have no one to blame except yourself

Thanks for replying, I was beginning to think that the tread was being ignored, or that only me and "supa-dupa-cooper" had had any experiences or advice on this subject .

On your point though, people also need to remember just because it's classed as the next day when they wake up even though they feel relatively OK they could still be under the influence of Drink or Drugs whether they think so or not, I know quite a few people (some traders & some Joe Public) who, although they wouldn't think of driving straight from the pub they will drive the next morning, and have done so, and been caught .

Yes! They'd only have themselves to blame!, someone could actually be unluckily enough to be in the right where the accident is concerned and then have a voided claim or a conviction for Drink Driving because someone ran in-to them (they'd have a conviction for DD because they were DD, no excuses) and the other person would ultimately get off with it (blame on the accident) , as you never know when somethings going to happen ) .

Mine's the one on the left.
