THERE is no excuse for drink driving this Christmas, say Warwickshire Police.
The force is cracking down on both drink and drug driving this festive season.
Every driver involved in a collision will face a roadside breath test or drug wipe. Officers have already increased their patrols and drivers may find themselves being directed into a traffic check point to be tested for drink and drugs and to deal with any traffic offences and vehicle defects.
Warwickshire Police is also asking the public and CCTV operators to report suspected offenders.
Call 101, or 999 in an emergency. To stay anonymous, contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online.
Inspector Wayne Boulton said: “We’re using intelligence to target hotspots and keep roads safe. Enforcement is vital, but our priority is education – changing behaviour so drivers make the right choice.
“Many of the drivers we have stopped at check points passed a breath test and were supportive of the operation. We thank you all for driving safely and legally.”
