She probably drove better than she will on her cellphone

I'd have a few with her and then ram her rear bumper.

There's a difference between women drivers and drunk drivers?

so what? the legal definition of drunk is so far out of whack with the realistic definition of drunk. i'm not saying get plastered, get going, but 3-4 drinks is not drunk like the percentage says you are.

She added: "I was driving along and it was all going fine until I crashed into a stationary car."

Is that going to count against me?

Ignore the others, subby, I'll provide what you are looking for:

No, FAIL

Hide your chickens: She added: "I was driving along and it was all going fine until I crashed into a stationary car."

Is that going to count against me?

based on your reference i am going to assume she was the opposite of what i was speaking of.

Mate of mine passed a driving test both drunk and stoned - If anything, it probably calmed his nerves for it. Pissed me off when I failed my first licence test sober though....

butterface slut, whatever.

Will she be prosecuted? Or is this a case of a rich person gloatcasting?

If she is a drunken driver she needs one of those things to blow into each time she starts the car.

My John Thomas.

She's thirty now and it happened when she was seventeen.

I like how everyone is so shocked and appalled. I thought we liked to ride high horses over here, but the Brits are definitely as bad.

SJKebab: Mate of mine passed a driving test both drunk and stoned - If anything, it probably calmed his nerves for it. Pissed me off when I failed my first licence test sober though....

Take my advice; Be stoned every time you drive.

I didn't take the test stoned, but I spent the next 23 years so far driving that way.

Sherjo311: so what? the legal definition of drunk is so far out of whack with the realistic definition of drunk. i'm not saying get plastered, get going, but 3-4 drinks is not drunk like the percentage says you are.

She crashed into a parked/stopped car. I think that satisfies the realistic definition of drunk.

So good I'd lick the seat.

Claire Armstrong from Speed Safe stormed: "To go to a driving test drunk is just totally irresponsible.

"And to admit it in front of a TV audience just to get a few laughs is appalling and pathetic.

"Quite frankly, she should have been reported."

Is there a statute of limitations of DUI? And if they tried to do anything couldn't she just say "I was trying to get a laugh on TV, it didn't really happen."

I think the person above meant she should have been reported at the time, but I guess my point is: "Ain't shiat you can do about it now."

Yeah, I know she crashed into a parked car, but I love how much "spin" there is in this article.

"I had a few to steady my nerves," is completely different than getting sh*t-faced on a Friday night and THEN deciding to drive. And c'mon people, this happened 13 friggin years ago... SO WHY DO WE CARE?

FAIL for media overhype

Did anyone else notice LouisaPickett on the right side of the page? It looks like she could have used a better surgeon.

"It is a disgraceful thing to do and is an inappropriate thing to be talking about."

13 years later? Why did you say anything at all? "No Comment" works on everything.

Last night road safety groups slammed her remarks as "appalling".

Claire Armstrong from Speed Safe stormed: "To go to a driving test drunk is just like grody to the max totally irresponsible.

FTFM.

So, 13 years ago, a kid passed a driving test after a shot to calm their nerves? This isn't even a "hot babe gets off free" article, this is just shiat that happened, and oh, this girl was really hot at the time.

I'm drunk right now, so...

/getting a kick

maniacbastard: butterface slut, whatever.

RLY?

I'd still rear-end her.

never heard of her. she looks kinda thin and starved.

Let me give you the likely british media reaction....

DMV Reconsidering 'One For The Road' Driver Relaxation Campaign

September 30, 1997 | Issue 32•09

SPRINGFIELD, IL-With the drunk-driving fatality rate nearly tripling in Illinois in the past year, the state's Department of Motor Vehicles announced Monday it will re-examine its controversial "One For The Road" driver-relaxation promotional campaign.

In this DMV publicity shot, a driver and his passengers are "playing it safe," unwinding with a scotch and soda before facing the stress of a long drive through rush-hour traffic. According to DMV statistics, more than 80 percent of motorists report feeling "significantly more relaxed" after just one drink.

"Driving a car can be an incredibly stressful experience," DMV spokesperson Dale Penn said. "That was the idea behind One For The Road-we felt it was important for motorists to loosen up a bit before getting behind the wheel."

"It does seem, though," Penn added, "that the program may have needed some fine-tuning."

According to Penn, the One For The Road program had its roots in a DMV study revealing a positive correlation between alcohol consumption and driver confidence.

"We found that people who had consumed at least four beers or two mixed drinks before getting behind the wheel were twice as likely to believe they were in no danger of getting hurt or killed," Penn said. "When operating a serious piece of machinery like a car, that's just the kind of confidence you need."

Among the DMV study's other findings: A majority of elderly respondents and female college freshmen reported being "more mellow" and "really tuned into the road" after just a single drink.

Launched last fall, the $3 million One For The Road campaign included talks by police officers at Illinois high schools encouraging kids to start "thinking about drinking"; a statewide drunk-driving poster contest; and a series of print and television ads featuring the slogans, "Before You Hit The Road, Hit The Sauce," and "Unwind... To Survive!"

In the time since the September 1996 launch of One For The Road, some 2,300 DUI-related fatalities have occurred in Illinois, a 275 percent increase over the previous year.

"Perhaps we need to reconsider certain aspects of the program," said Bill Gerhardt, co-creator of the program. "We need to ask ourselves, 'What parts of this program are not working, and how can we fix them?'"

Despite the widespread criticism of One For The Road, some safety experts have expressed concern over what might happen without the program.

"If this program is cut, there are going to be countless alcoholics driving around sober, their hands shaking so bad they can't even keep them on the wheel. It's just not safe," said Hal Knauer, a safety advisor for the Illinois Board of Transportation. "A person like that relies on alcohol for steady nerves."

Added Glenn Sturbert, an Illinois-licensed driver-examination official: "Some of these 16-year-olds come in here so nervous that I'm afraid to get in the car with them. Now, I myself can't give them something to take the edge off-the DMV only has a Class B liquor license-but what's going on at home that the parental concern isn't there?"

Penn noted that even with the program's suspension, many brochures are available from the DMV offering information on "getting loose." "These materials are there so that no driver can ever claim ignorance as a reason for having driven in an unnecessarily tense state," he said.

One For The Road is not the only DMV program currently under fire. Also being investigated are the campaigns "Smoke Up For Safety" and "Pack First!"

SoxSweepAgain:

I jest. You don't have to RTFA.

So she was a dumbshiat 13 years ago just like now. This is news?

/Who?

I'm from Springfield, and I can say with all honesty that I drove like a maniac the whole time I was there (13 moving violations in less than 1 year, supposed to lose license after 3) and through all the speeding I did (most 20-30 over the limit) I only got the one DUI, the day before Thanksgiving 1997, so the whole "One For The Road" sure didn't apply to me.

Wait what?

The only disgrace here is the fact some idiots are infuriated over a this woman's joke.

Over a? Over b. You decide.

It's ok.

"She is supposed to be a role model for children who have been watching her for weeks on Strictly Come Dancing."

If your children are getting their role models from "Strictly Come Dancing" then you fail at both life and parenting.

Please don't drive high. Ride in an ambulance and you'll see far too many who thought they could drive high. Your reaction time is severley impaired.

Stay home and get high on the couch.

They give amphetamines to pilots who do those insane B-2 Flights of 18+ hours. Amphetamines are pretty safe if you are being monitored.

Cocaine and Amphetamines won't impair your reflexes like Marijuana and alcohol will. Too much and it could lead to more aggression, so it's not ideal.

maniacbastard "butterface"

Yeah, Butterface. However perhaps you overlooked????

Buttertits: perky little rosebuds with a drop of dew. Flick,Yum, (repeat).
Butter hair: Sensuous, smooth with a tropical theme going on, with a hint of lime. So delicious.
Butter ears: ripe for nibbling, caressing, kissing.
Butter butt: soft, wet, playfully, inviting... tease.
Butter breath, like tic tacks and wine. Only better.
Butter snatch. This is where it gets fun. Softly licking, playing with that clit,......
Butter sex. Yep. butter (better) sex than you will ever get.

I'm Sorry you never made it past her face. Moron.

hexadecibel: It's ok.

The headline should be fixed. One word: WANT.

I perform better in some video games while stoned...

I was up partying all night the day before my test. I got in at about 6:30 am, had some breakfast and took a shower then went and passed it easy. I was still quite drunk. That was over 20 years ago.

"Quite frankly, she should have been reported."

And tortured. And executed. For something she did 13 years earlier? Or for talking about it? Oh, the things people go ballistic about.........

Another Paris Hilton wannabe! God help us!

Butterface? Butterface???

You might want to do a GIS and/or check your standards.

As a matter of fact, if you google "Rachel Stevens Daisies" you'll see what my wife looks like. Sort of.
