Cheshire Police is warning people about the dangers of drinking and driving. The Good news for drivers in Cheshire is this Christmas drink and drug drivers will be stopped, roads policing officers will be out and about safeguarding and protecting responsible drivers. The Bad news is drunk drivers can expect to be breathalysed any time of the day, so if you have been drinking the night before get a lift to work rather than take the chance. The Ugly truth about drink and drug driving is that last December there were 3459 drivers stopped and asked to take the breath test, which resulted in162 people arrested, 87% were men and 13% were women.
Last year′s figures showed that more than half of the people arrested were between the ages of 17 and 35. Cheshire Police′s message is clear to this age group - officers will be targeting drink drivers. Using intelligence, roads policing officers will be in the right place at the right time to arrest you if you make the bad decision to drink or take drugs then drive, watch out on a Friday, Saturday and a Sunday morning.
Assistant Chief Constable Ruth Purdie said: "Our message is not don′t go out and enjoy yourself but if you want to have a drink don′t get behind the wheel, you may think having a couple of drinks is fine but any amount of alcohol impairs your driving.
"Think about how you are going to get home before you leave for your night out. Drinking and driving can turn your good night out Ugly and you could end up cutting short your life or the life of another road user. You could end up losing your license or being sent to prison."
Losing your license and gaining a criminal conviction is not a Good way to start the New Year.
Cheshire Police′s Good, Bad and Ugly campaign is launching the 12 days of Christmas this week to illustrate the dangers of drink driving and other alcohol related crimes, log on to http://www.cheshirepolice.uk/to find out more.
