VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Many Canadians are at least considering alternatives to driving after drinking. A Traffic Injury Research Foundation poll finds half of us have at some point decided to ask someone else to drive after a night out.

A third of people have waited until they were sober before they got behind the wheel. Only 14 per cent considered transit, while one-in-5 people took a taxi home.
