That is very good advice. My brothers and I followed it to the letter when we were in Scotland. The driver for the day never had a drink until we were settled in for the day (car parked at the B&B).
We found that the quality of driving there is way better than where we're from, and you have to have your wits about you; add to that the difference of driving on the other side of the road, roundabouts, etc.
