The first search return for 'daily mail drink driving' was
their columnist Nigel Dempster being banned for two years for
crashing while drunk. Which might explain some of their
attitudes.

"The columnist was among a group of seven people who tried to
fight their drink driving charge by disputing the reliability
and legal status of the alcohol testing equipment used by
police."

That's a somewhat kind assessment:

"The gossip columnist Nigel Dempster was convicted of drink- driving yesterday and branded a liar by a judge for insisting he had not had any alcohol on the day he crashed his car into a lamp-post.

District judge Paul Clark described as "beyond contempt" Dempster's driving while two times over the limit. He added: "To put it bluntly, Mr Dempster lied to the police and I am satisfied he did so to disguise the fact that he had been drinking and he knew he was over the limit." "
