| R | Wel, diolch byth, mae nifer y marwolaethau wedi mynd i lawr. Llynedd, cafodd pedwar deg wyth o bobol eu lladd ar y ffyrdd yn Ne Cymru. | Well, thank goodness, the number of deaths has gone down. Last year, 48 people were killed on the roads of South Wales. |
| G | Ac ydy yfed a gyrru yn broblem fawr? | And is drinking and driving a big problem? |
| R | Ydy'n wir. Llynedd, cafodd dwy fil dau gant eu harestio am yfed a gyrru yn Ne Cymru. | Yes indeed. Last year, 2200 were arrested for drinking and driving in South Wales. |

The legal limit is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood. But the best advice is "Don't drink and drive at all". |

| R | Maen nhw'n meddwl yn arafach, gweld yn llai clir ac maen nhw'n cymryd mwy o risgiau. | They think more slowly, see less clearly and they take more risks. |
| G | I orffen, beth hoffech chi weld yn digwydd nesa? | Finally, what would you like to see happening next? |
| R | Mae eisiau cosbi pobol yn fwy llym a gwneud pobol yn fwy ymwybodol o'r peryglon. | We need to punish people more severely (= increase the penalties) and make people more aware of the dangers. |
