There are many reasons why people drink and drive. One of them is that people drink and drive because they think that they will never get caught, that it will never happen to them.
Secondly, they may also drink and drive because they do not see the danger. They do not think that they are drunk, and instead think that they are able to control their vehicles.
Another possible reason why people drink and drive could simply be that they are indeed reckless and they are not worried about putting other people's lives at risk.
