Swedish Rally driver Daniel Carlsson, the founder of ‘World Rally Against Drunk Driving’ has admitted to driving drunk himself. He even tried to escape from the police when they stopped him.

On his website Carlsson apologizes for the incident:
“I did something which is dangerous, stupid, and unforgiveable and which goes against my own convictions. I drove drunk,” admits Carlsson.

The 31-year-old admits he got behind the steering wheel of his car ‘far too early in the morning’ after having consumed alcohol. “It is something I have never done before but one time is one time too many and I’m going to accept the consequences of my actions, there’s no defense for what I did,” he writes.

He will also quit his work with “World Rally Against Drunk Driving” with immediate effect. “I still believe in everything the project stands for, which makes it a hard decision, but for me to try to continue working with the project currently feels neither meaningful nor credible,” he said.

Good decision Carlsson, the project can’t continue with you. Without you will be hard enough already. This situation reminds me why I am not a fan of celebrities in commercials or campaigns. It’s inevitable that they show their human weaknesses after a while which won’t go unnoticed. What’s the meaning of a World Rally Against Drunk Driving anyway? Start driving and stop lecturing.
