I would like to share an experience with you about drinking and driving. As you well know, we have been extremely lucky not to have had brushes with the authorities on our way home from our various weekend outings over the years.
A couple of nights ago, I was out for a few drinks with some friends and had a few too many beers and then topped it off with an Irish coffee.
Not a good idea. Knowing full well that I was slightly over the limit, I did something that I've never done before: I took a taxi home.
Sure enough, I passed a police road block but because it was a taxi, they waved it past. I arrived home safely without incident, which was a real surprise.
I have never driven a taxi before and I’m not sure where I got it.
