Finally, A Twitter Account Is Shaming The UK’s Holiday Drunk Drivers

Can you surry, can you picnic? I’m still trying to figure that one out. But I’ll tell you this: if you drink and drive in Surrey, you’re going to be put on blast, as the kids say. (“Kids”, in this case, means “35-year-olds who listen to Eminem”, btw.)



The occasionally amusing Twitter account of the Surrey, UK road patrol is going to be naming and shaming drivers who are accused of driving impaired this holiday season. I’d be shirking my duty as TTAC’s resident putative wingnut if I didn’t point out that the cops won’t be waiting until the drivers are convicted. What’s the point, anyway, in today’s data-intensive world where Equifax will sell your employers your arrest history? Nowadays when it comes to your criminal history the nomination is the award.


Drunk driving is serious business, no mistake about it, and it continues to kill drivers at a rate several times that of its more popular and trendy younger sibling, “distracted driving”. It’s not something that should be swept under the rug… but should it be put on Twitter?
