IAM has a quick Drink-Drive survey on its site.
http://iam.org.uk/component/content/article/20013-2012/media-a-research-home/media-a-research/20105
I have concluded that the IAM is run by morons. On the homepage there's a button entited 'Who are the IAM?' The IAM is plural. 'What is the IAM?' would be correct.
The survey is daft. If I answer the questions correctly then my answers suggest that I drink and drive constantly. I am just as likely to drink-drive over Xmas and New Year than I am any other time of year. On the surface this suggests that I do it all the time.
In fact I don't drink and drive at all. Any time of year.
Other examples:
Insurance quotation req over phone. Bear in mind that incorrect information can invalidate your policy.
Q: 'Have you ever lived abroad?'
A: I lived in France during 1999.
Q: How long did you live in France?
A: About a two weeks.
Q: Wow, you didn't like it much then?
A: Lovely place actually.
Q: So why did you leave so soon? (were you deported??)
A: It was only a holiday.
Q; So you didn't live there then?
A: Well I wasn't dead when I was there.
Q(ish) : This is a waste if my time.
A: I agree, but you advised me to answer questions accurately.
