One in four men have admitted drinking and driving, a new poll shows.
Some 15pc of just over 1,000 adults questioned have admitted being over the legal limit but still driving. That figure rises to 24pc among men.
The poll, from Newstalk/RED C and The Pat Kenny Show, reveals that drink-driving remains a live issue, and that the general perception is that it is a rural issue.
Some two-thirds of respondents said they knew someone who had “knowingly” driven a car while over the legal limit in the last five years, with 77pc saying that those in rural areas were more likely to drink and drive.
It also reveals that people are prepared to take a risk and drive having consumed alcohol, despite being aware of the dangers.
