Never drink and drive - book a taxi or stay the night. It's illegal to use a mobile phone while driving and you could be fined and get points on your licence if you break this law. Take regular breaks whilst driving so you don't become over tired. The tragedy of fatigue is that you may drift in and out of sleep without knowing it.
