Survey finds number of Canadians who admit to drinking and driving has increased
It was for a story about whether one of the rowdiest nights of the year had, in fact, become tamer.There was a tiny wisp of a 19-year-old girl in a tiny wisp of a black dress who was found barfing in a Broad Street parking lot, all alone, abandoned by her friends, defenceless against the near-freezing chill and the 2 a.m. predators.
Also unlike the olden days: just one person was busted for drunk driving that night. On Dec. 31, 2012, it appeared impaired motoring wasn’t as prevalent as it had been on earlier New Year’s Eves. Credit a societal shift in attitude, nudged along by the sobering deterrence of B.C.’s new roadside bans.
The survey also found a change in where people were drinking before driving. As you might expect, many of them shifted to doing so at home, often alone, during the early part of the pandemic when the world shut down.
