Last month we reported that Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Thames Valley all make the UK top ten when it comes to the number of drivers caught drunk behind the wheel. When JVS discussed this, many people called to say it was about time we took a zero tolerance approach. JVS disagrees as he likes a pinot with his pub lunch. Well, 65 year old Kerry from Stondon called to say he would be a better driver at his age than JVS after a pinot. JVS took the challenge and with the help of the Bedfordshire fire service, Bedfordshire police and the Luton Borough Council Casualty Reduction Partnership he took part in a controlled drink driving experiment. Here’s a little clip of what happened…

Should it be more difficult for learner drivers to get their licence? The RAC has called for a radical shake-up of driver training in the UK. This is the plan... Everyone should have to spend a year driving at night and in the winter before they even take their test. No-one can carry passengers until they've had their full licence for two years. Also if you pick up 6 points within your first three years behind the wheel then you'll have to sit your test again. Kevin tells Jonathan there are more dangerous drivers out there! The ones driving with large Alsatian dogs on their laps!
