The number of deaths on Britain's roads as a result of drink-driving soared last year increasing 25 per cent, according to Government figures. An estimated 290 people were killed in 2012 compared to 230 in 2011, the Department for Transport (DfT) said today. The 2012 figures were made worse by the fact the 2011 total was the lowest since records began in 1979.
