£60 fixed penalty for drunk texting

A £60 fixed penalty will be introduced for anyone texting while under the influence of alcohol.

The government said drunk texting – also known as ‘drunksting’ or ‘clinical insanity’ – takes place mostly late at night and can ruin lives.

A hard hitting ad campaign will show the splayed, broken body of a man who has just received a 3am booty call from an ex he thought he was getting over.

Personal trainer Donna Sheridan, said: “I’m not paying a £60 fine every time I neck a bottle of Goldschlager and feel the urge to remind my ex-husband that he was a sexual catastrophe.

“I’ll just drive round to his house and shout it through the letter box until his neighbours phone the police.”

The message added: “Three-two to Italy and a nightmare against Costa Rica.”

The BBC dispatched Bear Grylls and John Motson to make contact with the tribe, but Motson ran screaming into the jungle after sniffing a massive orange flower.
