The Sussex Safer Roads Partnership (SSRP) is reminding motorists they have a simple choice this Christmas: “To drink or to drive – never both.”
“The overwhelming majority of drivers make this choice without even thinking about it, reducing the potential harm to them and others. Yet a small minority of motorists ignore the opinions of everyone around them and get behind the wheel after having a few alcoholic drinks.
“Sussex Police will be conducting roadside checks throughout Sussex, as well as deploying additional patrol vehicles to stop suspected drink drivers in the act.”
Teams from the Fire and Rescue Services and local councils will also be taking the message into town centres, bars, pubs and clubs throughout December. A pilot project will also run in a local Asda store where the management have allowed drink drive information to be placed on bottles of alcohol sold from the store.
