Continuing on from our previous update, I have now uploaded Tessa’s Drink driving message for you! It’s quite short, but Tessa looks amazing – and I love how she promotes such an important cause. Screencaptures are up in our galleries, and the video clip can be seen below. Enjoy all the new updates – and make sure you continue scrolling down after reading, because there has been a lot of new updates in the last few days!
Note from webmiss: This article was originally posted in March earlier this year, but unfortunately we must have missed it. It is such an important cause, and I think it’s really great how Tessa is using here fame to promote it! Therefore, I’ll post it to you now, 8 months too late hehe.
IT was a tragedy in her family decades before her birth but Tessa James is still left with the message it brought – drink driving kills. “My grandpa’s brother was killed in a car accident when he was 21,” the Home And Away star said yesterday. “Two people were drunk in a stolen car and they hit his motorbike when they went through a red light.”
The 18-year-old actress has had her P-plates since moving to Sydney from her native Melbourne two years ago. P-plate drivers must have a blood-alcohol content of zero and James has become an I Promise ambassador to remind other young drivers of their responsibility. “Being a P-plater you can’t have any alcohol in your system at all and I think that’s really good because then I’m not even tempted at all to drink,” she said.
“When I go out I take cabs or if I don’t want to drink I offer to drive . . . it’s not that hard. If someone is the designated driver that’s their responsibility for the night. “It makes such a difference.”
