In this episode, Niall confronts a harrowing personal encounter with a drunk driver who wreaked havoc on the motorway, nearly causing multiple fatalities. The incident raises a critical question: should drink driving lead to an automatic lifetime ban, or even jail time?

As the conversation unfolds, some callers argue that drunk driving is too dangerous to treat lightly and believe a lifetime ban, coupled with possible jail sentences, is the only real deterrent. After all, no one should have to fear for their life because someone chose to drink and drive.

Others, however, feel that while the behavior is reprehensible, a lifetime ban is too extreme. They advocate for a more balanced approach, suggesting mandatory rehabilitation, tougher temporary bans, and financial penalties. These callers worry that making punishments absolute might discourage individuals from seeking help.

Niall concludes the episode by acknowledging the intense emotions surrounding this issue and the complexity of crafting effective, just policies.
