There are more than 2m cars on Irish roads, with many motorists spending two hours a day behind the wheel, clocking up on average of 15,000km a year.
In the series How’s Your Driving?, test drivers are put through their paces while “under the influence” in Garda-supervised and Road Safety Authority-controlled tests to gauge how alcohol and drugs affect driving abilities.
Kevin Geoghegan Moore, 22, a air steward, makes a potentially fatal driving decision in the test after drinking two pints and passing a Garda breathalyser test.
Presenter Simon Delaney said the test will demonstrate the lethal consequences of even legal amounts of alcohol.
“One of the biggest jaw-dropping moments for us all was during our drink-driving test when Kevin passed the Garda breathalyser on two pints, then went on to the track and went straight through a red light then reversed into a cardboard cut-out of a child,” said Mr Delaney.
