An anonymous guide to drink-driving on the internet has been branded by a Labour MP as a "guide to murder".

The site, hosted on the Tripod internet server, gives online surfers tips on how best to beat being caught over the legal alcohol limit. Suggestions include when and where to drink, how to reduce your profile as a potential offender, and how to act should an accident occur.

"Drinking and driving is fun. Everything that's fun carries some risk but the risk is far less than the politically bastards make out," claims the site. "If you are involved in any kind of accident, drive away if you can. If you stop and the cops are called you are dead."

John Smith, MP for Vale of Glamorgan and chair of the parliamentary advisory committee on transport safety, is contacting transport ministers and Tripod, the UK subsidiary of the Lycos server, in a bid to have the site removed.

He said: "This is appalling. The authors of this British web site are advising drunk drivers that if they knock down an innocent pedestrian to drive away and leave them. If a drunk driver took this advice and drove off leaving an injured child or any other pedestrian, who later died, I believe the authors of this site should be charged with accessory to murder.

"When I first read the web site, I thought it was some kind of sick joke but it is not".
