Hello folks, I'm going 'home' in June for a walk down memory lane in my Uni town and home town in Illinois in a month or so. Tonight I've been trying to check the legal drink driving level in my home state, but I'm confused. The Illinois level is 0.08%. The U.K. level speaks of microgrammes...
Not using a seat belt
Drink driving
Drug driving

I'm convinced speeding is receiving...

I and others have posted this video in previous years and I make no apologies for reposting in this year.
It is extremely hard hitting. Given that we can't afford in this country to run such a campaign this year maybe this will help.
