In football, you can't fast-forward to full time. The same applies to sobering up, you can’t speed up the process.

It takes a lot longer than most people think for alcohol to pass through the body. On average, the body eliminates blood alcohol content (BAC) at a rate of one unit per hour.

Because of this, you could still be unknowingly over the drink-drive limit the morning after the game. If you’re planning to drive the next morning – we recommend avoiding consuming alcohol.

Bigger cars offer more space and safety but can make parking and narrow streets harder. Some councils are introducing weight-based parking fees, while others say drivers should choose what suits them.

📢 Have your say: Should authorities introduce measures to curb vehicle growth, or should market demand dictate car sizes?

Our Skills Days are a great blend of learning, progression and hands on driving, and are well received.
