@IAMRoadSmart Such a shame as @RoadPeace provided an excellent and much needed service for those bereaved or seriously injured by way of a road collision.

As a charity, RoadPeace gave more than 30 years of support to road crash victims and their families - a service that cannot be underestimated. They supported victims of trauma, remembered those killed or seriously injured, and helped victims seek justice. Their closure is a great loss for road safety rehabilitation and support.

Drink-driving is a serious criminal offence. If a driver is found to be over the drink-drive limit, and/or driving whilst impaired from alcohol, they can receive a maximum penalty of 6 months in prison, or up to life for causing death. The offender will also receive an unlimited fine and an automatic driving ban of at least one year. Drivers who've been found guilty of drink-driving and have been banned for 12 months or more may be offered the chance to take a rehabilitation course, such as one provided by IAM RoadSmart, to reduce their driving ban.
