"The impact of being caught drink-driving or travelling at dangerous speeds can have effects on you that you can’t anticipate.
"Ask yourself what you'd say to a person's family if your poor driving behaviour resulted in someone getting killed and what you would tell your own family.
"There's no excuse that can justify it."
