Did you know the drink driving limit hasn’t changed in the UK since 1967 and that it is the highest in Europe? 🚗 There is clear evidence that a person’s ability to drive is affected by consuming any amount of alcohol. The Government is currently consulting on road safety. This is our chance to push for a clearer rule that says: if you drink, don’t drive.🤚 You can help us to make this change!📢 Using our quick email template, ask the Transport Minister to speak with us. It only takes a minute to add your voice, and it could help prevent avoidable deaths and injuries on our roads.👇 alcoholchange.good.do/lowerthedrinkd… #roadsafety #drinkdriving #alcoholharm #campaigning

The Equality Act is there to protect people against discrimination and to ensure that people in the workplace and wider society are treated fairly. But it doesn’t protect people with alcohol dependence. The government tells us that the exclusion exists because alcohol dependence is “self-induced”. We strongly disagree. No one chooses to become dependent on alcohol and anyone struggling deserves support without being discriminated against in this way. If this discriminatory exclusion was lifted, it would help keep people in work and get them back into work. It would also ensure that people get the housing and services they need.
