At this time of the year, when the police checkpoints come up with great regularity, I would like to share a personal experience with some of my friends about drinking and driving.
As you well know, some of us have been known to have had brushes with the authorities on our way home from an occasional social session over the years.
A couple of nights ago, I was out for an evening with friends and had a couple of drinks and some rather old scotch.
Knowing full well I may have been slightly over the limit, I did something I've never done before, I decided to take a cab.
Sure enough, I passed a police checkpoint, but since it was a cab, they waved it past.
I arrived safely home without incident, which was a real surprise as I have never driven a cab before and am not sure where I got it or what to do with it now.
