Make it illegal to have any amount of alcohol or drugs when driving.
The petition wants the law to be very clear - if you drive you DON'T drink or take drugs of ANY amount.
To drive after drinking or taking drugs is a selfish and inconsiderate action which shows no regard at all for any other persons.
Yet another life is lost due to a drunken driver. On 15 June 2015 Melanie Miles was only 42 when she was killed, in Bristol, by a van driver over the drink limit and in possession of drugs. He was jailed for the offence but only for 6 years.
If he had not been drinking it is highly unlikely he would have jumped a red light and hit Melanie on her 125cc (small) motorcycle.
So many cases of death through drunken driving could be avoided if we followed the example of Norway.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
