Rhiannon and Luke were sprayed with alcohol. They acted drunk and asked people for help getting into their car in four locations across the UK: Birmingham, Cardiff, Nottingham and Bristol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results were crazy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Midrive&#8217;s hidden camera revealed that 3 in 4 Britons <strong>would<\/strong> help a \u2018drunk driver\u2019 to get into their car to drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But who do you think they were most likely to help? The male driver or the female?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shockingly, they found that passersby were 29% more likely to help a woman drink drive than a man. 85% of passersby helped Rhiannon drink drive, compared to the 65% that helped Luke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the video to see exactly what happened!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Hidden camera reveals shocking truth about drink driving!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GgiriWkKiyE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taking a stand against drink driving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>5 people are killed every day on Britain\u2019s roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Midrive wanted to highlight just how important it is to stop somebody from driving after a drink, even if it\u2019s a stranger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it is safe to do so, you could talk to the driver directly &#8211; particularly if they are a friend. However, always be cautious when approaching strangers as they could become abusive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If in any doubt, please call 999 as the incident may need urgent police action. For more information on reporting a drunk driver, head over to Drinkaware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you may not need to worry about drink driving penalties, and you might feel as if you shouldn\u2019t interfere. But you could well save a life. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hidden camera reveals 3 in 4 Britons would help a &#8216;drunk driver&#8217; to get into their car to drive!
