A fifth of British employees drive to work under the influence

With the Police Federation calling for the national drink drive limit in England and Wales to be lowered in line with Scotland, a new survey has revealed that more than one in five UK workers drive to work still under the influence from the night before.

23.53% of British workers admitted to driving into work while still feeling over the limit. Workers in the West Midlands were most likely to drive into work under the influence (31.13%), closely followed by employees in London (28.02%), and personnel in the North-East (27.62%). The full table can be seen below.

Scotland’s workforce came tenth in table (18.81%), which is perhaps indicative of more caution being shown on work nights due stricter drink-driving laws north of Hadrian’s Wall.
