In this first episode of Riley’s Road, Riley explores one of the most confronting realities in road safety: the impact of alcohol on judgement, awareness, and the decisions that change lives forever. Drawing on insight from the N332 Road Safety Project, she examines drink driving from three powerful angles — the driver, the police officers who face the aftermath, and the families whose futures are torn apart in moments.
This episode unpacks how confidence can mask impairment, why officers carry these scenes with them for years, and what families endure long after the headlines fade. With calm, clear guidance, Riley explains why the only safe limit is zero and why the choices we make during celebrations matter long after the night ends.
A reflective, essential message for the festive season — and a reminder that one decision behind the wheel can define a lifetime.
