One in six wedding guests admit to drink-driving the morning after a marriage celebration.
A quarter of those aged 18-34 - the most likely offenders - have done this within the last year. More than a fifth of men admit they planned to avoid drinking alcohol but changed their mind - and still driven home at the end of the night. The research was commissioned by Direct Line to highlight the dangers of morning-after drink driving, with a car crashing into a three-metre high wedding cake outside Blenheim Palace.
Matt Pernet for the insurer said: 'As one of the UK’s leading motor insurers, we’re on a mission to help make roads safer for everyone. “With people planning to attend spring and summer weddings, raising awareness of the dangers of drink-driving the morning after is incredibly important.” Nearly half of wedding-goers that have attended a ceremony within the last two years, say they were treated to a free bar.
