When it comes to getting home safe it’s now time to walk the talk.
Literally, walk home and do it sober. When a pedestrian dies on the road, especially on the weekend, chances are that his blood alcohol level is positive and that his judgment has been impaired by dop.
We say ‘his’ because the fact is that young men are the most likely to die as a pedestrian after drinking, with the highest risk group being between the ages of 20 and 29.
We say ‘the weekend’ because the stats show that more than three times as many pedestrians die on Saturdays as on Wednesdays.
Interpret the stats how you like, the lesson here is that dronk op straat too easily leads to dood op straat, and that if you’re a young man on the tear on a Saturday, you’re dancing with death.
On the other hand, if you are out walking the streets with your friends, and you set an example of safety, then you are setting a new standard. The change begins with you.
