Motorists ‘over the limit’

As Glastonbury draws to a close and thousands head home from a music and booze-filled weekend, new research reveals festivalgoers could still be over the limit on their drive home.The research, conducted by Confused.com, revealed nearly a third (29%) of festival-loving motorists have driven home the day after a music festival, with many still feeling the effects of alcohol. According to the survey, one in five (20%) felt hungover, while worryingly, a further 6% still felt over the limit.

However, it is not just festivalgoers who are being caught out. The research finds many drivers are confused about how long it can take for alcohol to wear off. According to the survey, nearly one in five (18%) motorists are confused about how long they must wait before driving the morning after drinking.

Aston spoke to Amanda Stretton, motoring editor at Confused.com to chat about the research and also the new calculator that Confused.com is introducing as well.
