Alcohol

Tell us how you are planning to get home after the Gold Cup and you could win a swag!
You don't have to be drunk to be affected by alcohol.

Drink Driving is a factor in about one in every five crashes in NSW where someone loses their life.

The effects of alcohol are wide ranging and impossible to avoid. After a big night out you may still have alcohol in your system for much of the next day.

Alcohol is a depressant and:

  • Slows your brain so that you can't respond to situations, make decisions or react quickly.
  • Reduces your ability to judge how fast you are moving or your distance from other cars, people or objects.
  • Gives you a false sense of confidence - you may take greater risks, thinking that your driving is better than it really is.
  • Makes it harder to do more than one thing at a time - while you concentrate on steering, you could miss seeing traffic lights, cars entering from side streets or pedestrians.
  • Affects your sense of balance - a big risk if you ride a motorcycle.
  • Makes you drowsy - you could fall asleep at the wheel.

#WhatsYourPlanB

The 2022 Plan B Competition has now closed. Thank you to all those who entered.

Here are our four (4) winning creative Plan B entries.

1. Fly a hot air balloon that is tied to a pack of renegade flying unicorns. This will promote carbon-free transport and an imaginative free spirit.

2. My mate is training to be a helicopter pilot at the Albury Airport, my creative Plan B would be to have him pick me up with his training chopper and take me home like James Bond.

3. My Plan B, will see me flee.

As the last horse runs over the line, it'll be my time to shine.

I'll call my best mate, and he'll set me straight-

'Call a taxi" he will say, "catching a cab is the way",

Homeward bound I go, no DUI for this old bro...

4. I live under the flight path from the airport, so hitching a ride on a plane and parachuting onto my house could be safer than driving!

Next time you are heading to an event, make sure you have a great Plan B to get yourself home safely.
