I think people drink and drive because firstly, they are just not a smart thinker for their safety and other people around him/her. Once they get something into their head-alcohol, they just do not realise what they are doing. In addition, I think most people drink because they are having a lot of stress and violence in their life and they really do not have anything else to do. To them drinking is the only solution and excitement in the person life and then they drive and have no coordination and balance.This will led to dangerous consequences.
Secondly,they think that it is safe for them to drive when they are drunk. They thought that they can control themselves but they are mistaken.When the alcohol is getting control of you brain, everything is sure that something bad will happen if you are driving when you are drunk!
Lastly, they thought that by driving after getting themself drunk,that will not troubled others. also they find that it is troublesome to take public transport.In fact, they will be returning home in a wrong way as they were drunk and did not know what exactly they are doing.
However, there are some ways that can be done to solve the problem of drink driving. Firstly, when they want to drink,they should not drive their vehicle. With that they know that it will be safer and will avoid any accidents to occur. Secondly, the person friend that is not drunk can help to drive their drunken friend home to ensure safety. Also the residential commitee can do house to house visit to explain to them the consequences of drink driving,and the penalty. Lastly, the police should do ptrol arund the possible areas that people usually get drunk.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteSome thoughts:
You have a number of sensible points in here. I agree with you that the primary reason why people do drink and drive is probably because they are just simply stupid an they have lost their senses because of alcohol.
Your point about the stress and violence could have been developed, it seems disconnected from your main train of thought. How does it link to the rest of your argument?
How could you operationalise the suggestion for the residents committee (RC) in each estate to go to each flat or house in the neighbourhood to explian the consequences of drink driving? Would this offend some people, especially if they do not drink or if they drink but do not drive if they have had a drink? How will the RC know which houses to go to?
