“You have always been an example for Flanders. Now you are too, because you hold a mirror up to all of us.” Sabine Cocquyt wrote this in an emotional letter to Tom Waes after his drunken crash with his Porsche. Now there is the VRT campaign ‘There are no excuses’, in which Tom Waes warns drivers to drive sober. Sabine knows better than anyone what driving under the influence can do. “There has been a before and an after since that accident. And it would be a shame not to do anything with it.”
