Should There Be A Zero Drink-Drive Limit?

Northamptonshire police have launched their month long summer drink drive campaign, with 44 people arrested in the first 10 days. The show asks if it's time for a zero limit on how much we can drink.

Northamptonshire police have launched their month long summer drink drive campaign, with 44 people arrested in the first 10 days - and a campaigner in Northampton says cuts to public transport and the high cost of taxis has led to more people driving home after they have been drinking.

Reporter Elinor Cross hears from some of the people stopped by police in Northampton. Stuart talks to Sergeant Tony Hopkins from Northamptonshire Police, and to David Frost from Northampton who runs a campaign called "Morning After" encouraging drivers to be aware of the effect that alcohol can have on their driving the following day.
