"DRINK DRIVING NEEDS TO STOP!

“The safest and best advice is to avoid alcohol completely if you have to drive. And remember, if you do drink, there could still be enough alcohol in your system the next morning to mean you’re over the limit.

“You could be imprisoned, banned from driving and face a fine if you’re found guilty of drink-driving. THINK...DONT DRINK!!”
