40% of drunks have false confidence when driving

About 80% of the drivers caught drunk were aware of Japan’s stiffer penalties.

Still, 40% of them felt confident cops wouldn’t catch them.

Yeah, judgement does get impaired when you have had a few. Okay, make that a couple.

The year end is party season in Japan….much like elsewhere. The police plan to get even tougher yet.

And drunks…well, they will get more and more stupid.

Most drivers caught drunk had been drinking along (59%).

Some 28% were drinking with friends and 6% with colleagues.

About 54% had been drinking at a pub and 14% drank at home before going out to get caught by police.

Almost one in five (17.6%) had misjudged that they had sobered ip enough.

Wrong!
