Task One: Develop Your Own Personal Strategy to Avoid Drink Driving in the Future.

What strategies can you put in place to make sure you never drink and drive? Every person needs to develop a personal philosophy on this. Explain your philosophy and the reasons for it. Include specific information on the amount that a person can drink including types of drinks and the time periods between drinks. (Use Ex 7A and 7B in your text to help you with calculating the amount of alcohol in different types of drinks.) What about the people who you socialise with? Does their viewpoint influence you? Describe the scenarios you might find yourself in and what you would/should do? Post your response here.

Task Two: What is the cost to Victorians of drink driving?

Report on a case study (ie research on the Internet) on someone who was involved in drink driving. It could be a victim or the person who was caught drink driving? While you may use a case that is known to you, YOU MUST NOT IDENTIFY THE PERSON IN THE CASE STUDY. (Use pseudonyms – change the names and places so no identification can be made – you must protect the person’s privacy). Post your case study here
