When intoxicated by alcohol it’s easy to make decisions based on the reality you hold at that moment. The drink responsibly adverts we’ve all seen feature people who think they’re super-heroes falling from scaffolding and drunk drivers making their first, and last, kill.

What may be overlooked by some, if not most, are the dangers of un-registered minicabs. This video promoting Cabwise, an initiative from Transport for London, shows that there’s more to lose than just your mobile phone.

The Cabwise system allows you to text for information on the three nearest registered cab companies to you.

When you’re heading home from your office parties this Christmas, make sure you don’t use an unregistered minicab to cut your queuing time.
