Women urged to wear nice knickers – just in case!

If your mom is anything like mine and millions of moms around the world, she probably told you to always “wear nice underwear, incase you get in an accident”

Well, police in Suffolk, one of the UK's "Home Counties", took this well-known phrase a step further by warning women drivers, and other women going on boozy nights out, to "wear nice pants" in case they fall down drunk in the street.

A Suffolk police safety campaign magazine shows pictures of young women slumped on the ground next to messages urging them: "If you've got it, don't flaunt it."

"If you fall over or pass out, remember your skirt or dress may ride up," the magazine says.
"You could show off more than you intended - for all our sakes, please make sure you're wearing nice pants and that you've recently had a wax."

Readers are also told to stick with friends, book a taxi home and watch the amount they drink.

Police told Reuters the Safe! magazine's gossipy, tongue-in-cheek style was designed to alert young women to the dangers they could face if they get drunk during a night out.

"We need to raise their awareness of potential problems," said Chief Superintendent David McDonnell.

"They become more vulnerable while under the influence of alcohol."

Umphh! Well we all knew that.

Why do you think men buy girls drinks in bars in the first place?
