With so many messages of drink-driving targeted at drivers and riders of private cars and bikes, i had wondered, is there any message targeted at public transport drivers? Especially school bus, cabs, and public buses.
I mean, the bus drivers have the so many responsibilities of lives of strangers entrusted to him when he's driving on the roads. And if you are the bus driver, you would not try anything funny, right?
But it had happened.

A public bus driver drinks and drives!!! What the hell is that driver trying to do? He just got himself and all his passengers a one way ticket to hell!
The table above shows the number of drink driving accidents in 2006. (source from the Singapore Police Force Website)
And the piechart belows shows the number of injuries related to drink-driving
And finally, the number of people arrested for drink drinking in 2006 (both accident related and non accident related) is 3730 people.
That's a whole lot of people who was caught drink-driving. Not to mention the number of "escaped" cases.
So, if you dun want to be a part of the statistics in the Traffic police (the bus driver just earned himself a place in the 2006 statistic), or you don't want to live with guilt your whole life, or you simply don't want to become a bloody idiot, heel the message below.
Got it?
