I don’t know about laws and don’t pretend to, just my opinion that if you know they’re drunk and get in the car then surely that’s irresponsible and giving the driver it’s ‘ok’ then should be accountable aswell.
The more people that say no your not fit to drink then maybe they might get the message.

Not sure why it’s not increasing the risk, it could be a distraction and cause a crash
