Now we all know who Mika Hakkinen is. If you don't you can do a Wikipedia search on him and you will know that he is one of the greatest racers of our time.
But what is "Join the Pact"? "Join the Pact" is a responsible drinking campaign launched by Johnny Walker. Their aim is to stop and discourage people from the dangerous habit of drinking and driving. And Mika Hakkinen is their Global Responsible Drinking Ambassador.
This "Join the Pact" Initiative was launched on the 18th of August currently, other than Mika and I, even Lewis Hamilton and joined the pact; along with more than 40,000 people so far.
I have never been known to my friends as a drinker, more of a joker. But drinking and driving is no joke, especially when you are still very much under the influence of alcohol. Even if you are an irresponsible person, and may not care for your safety, there are lots of other drivers on the road that care for theirs. Please respect them by only driving when you are sober.
If you aren't sober enough to drive, make sure that you have a designated driver among your friends that is willing to drive you home safely. If it may seem unfair, then you and your friends may actually take turns to become the designated driver.
We already have enough trouble in our lives with famine, natural disasters and worldwide epidemics. We do not need to add another problem of drink-driving in the list of fatalities. This can easily be avoided and it is possible to fully eliminate this.
Now, I do hope that all my fellow readers will join me and Mika Hakkinen to make a pact to never drink and drive. You can do so on this website. Make the pact, keep yourself safe. Keep every1 else on the road safe as well.
Now here's a special incentive for you to join the pact as well. For those who sign up on the webpage, you will receive a certificate by email of your pact and you may paste in on your Facebook or any other site for that matter. Spread the Word!!
Once you are done joining the pact, you are automaitically to be in the running to win tickets to watch the Singapore Grand Prix 2009!!! Now how cool is that?!?! So come on, what are you waiting for?!?! (Hehehe... I know, I know!! Its very the exciting now isn't? :-p)
Next thing to note, Mika Hakkinen will be coming down to Malaysia as part of this campaign 12th September 2009 at Sunway Pyramid. And coming along with him is....
A Join The Pact (JTP) Super car!!! Yes, Mika will be there to give a demo in the 3.5 litre, V8 engine. It can go from 0-100mph in less than 5 seconds!! Thats 1 heck of an awesome car!!! Be there, in Sunway Pyramid on the 12th of September to hear its engine purr at the start; later it will roar and blow your mind away when Mika gets his foot on the gas pedal!
If you guys want evidence that I have joined the pact, I will post my certificate up here :-)

Just before I sign off, this music video reminds us of the pain it causes to everyone who is involved in a drink-driving incident. Its very moving and emotional It's Simple Plan's Untitled.
Watch and make the vow that it shall never happen to us or any1 we know and care for.
