Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs will
impair your driving and put the lives of yourself
and other road users at risk. We will have roads
policing operations running throughout the Christmas
period, we are appealing to drivers who are out
socialising, not to take the risk of driving under
the influence of either alcohol or drugs. There has
been a significant increase in the number of drivers
that have been arrested for driving under the
influence this year. Please do not put your own life
in danger or the life of others by driving under the
influence of alcohol or drugs”. |
