<p>Drunk car passengers can be as dangerous as drivers who drink, according to a new survey.</p>
<p>As many as 76% of car owners have driven drunken passengers home from parties, the poll by insurance company swiftcover.com found.</p>
<p>The survey showed that more than 100,000 accidents and 650,000 near misses a year are caused by drunk passengers.</p>
<p>Inebriated passengers can cause drivers to lose control of their vehicle, swerve or crash, while sometimes the drunks can grapple with the steering wheel or fiddle with the handbrake.</p>
<p>The poll of 1,048 drivers showed that 18% of the drunks in cars had been sick, 43% had sung loudly and 32% had turned the car radio up to excessive volumes.</p>
<p>Robin Reames, claims director at swiftcover.com, said: &#8220;We&#8217;re familiar with drink-driving and the dangers it causes at this time of year, but there is a new danger on the road &#8211; the drunk passenger.</p>
<p>&#8220;Drivers find it difficult to focus when travelling with drunken passengers and with the difficult weather conditions associated with this time of year, it&#8217;s important for them to take note and be aware of what they may encounter.&#8221;</p>
