The Christmas Anti-drink drive campaign is in full swing, but there will always be those who think they can get away with it. Beyond the points, the driving ban and the criminal record, how do those caught handle the shame? Another Christmas, another warning about getting behind the wheel while under the influence of alcohol.

The theme of the 2019 campaign is that a conviction can ruin a driver´s life. “That is could come between you and Christmas” is the slogan. The criminal record and driving ban are automatic and for those who rely on their cars that can be punishment enough. But what about the stigma and the shame?

Mary, a 27-year-old care co-ordinator from Torquay in Devon, found that being convicted even affected her relationship whit her mother. “She made me feel really, really bad. She didn’t want to see me and shut the door in my face and told me to go away. That was the worst feeling ever.”

Mary, which is not her real name, says the incident that changed her life came at the end of a “rubbish” day at work last year, close to the anniversary of her grandmother’s death. She began drinking a bottle of wine at home and then went into town to continue drinking, but on the way she hit a parked car, failed a breath test and spent a night in a police cell. “That was lonely and horrendous. You feel very bad about yourself,” she says.

Lessons

“It gives you time to things over and how you could have killed someone. You feel embarrassed because you don’t think you could even end up in a cell.”

She was given a £300 fine and a 16-month driving ban. The ban was reduced to a year because she signed up a course with the Devon Driving Course lrun by Devon County Council, which aims to educate drink-drivers about their crime.

The court meant she had to tell her parents the truth and endure her mother’s cold shoulder, having previously told her the accident had not been fault.

I don´t want people to make the same mistake as I did. People’s silence and looks on the faces says it all. It makes you never want to do anything so stupid again”.

She learnt many things from the £145 course but among them was the fact her shame, criminal record and costs could have been avoided had she paid £ 20 for a taxi.

Comentários

• I. The criminal record and driving ban are automatic… (Os antecedentes criminais e a proibição ‎‎de dirigir ‎‎são automáticos...‎ )

  • Driving tem a função de ADJETIVO (A)

  II. That was the worst feeling ever. (‎Esse foi o pior ‎‎sentimento de ‎‎todos.‎)

  • Feeling tem a função de SUBSTANTIVO (S)

  III. She began drinking a bottle of wine at home… ( ‎Ela começou a ‎‎beber ‎‎uma garrafa de vinho em casa...‎)

  • drinking tem função de INFINITIVO (I)

  IV. …she hit a parked car… (‎ ... ela bateu em um carro ‎‎estacionado... ‎‎ ‎)

  • parked tem função de ADJETIVO(A)

  V. …and how you could have killed someone. ( ‎ ... e como você poderia ter ‎‎matado ‎‎alguém.‎)

  • Killed tem função de Particípio Passado (PP)

  Logo o gabarito correto é a Letra: A

  *a tradução para o português nunca será "perfeita" sempre se guie pela frase em inglês.

• Há um equívoco aqui nessa questão. No item III. She began drinking a bottle of wine at home, DRINKING não é infinitivo e nem funciona como tal. Ele é GERÚNDIO. O verbo BEGIN aceita tanto infinitivo quanto gerúndio: She began to drink OU she began drinking. A questão optou por usar gerúdio e fim. Essa questão deve ser anulado pois não há alternativa correta.
