HAMPSHIRE Police half way through a month-long Christmas drink-drive campaign.

The Where will you end up tonight? campaign, which carries the hard-hitting theme of a mortuary to emphasise the potentially fatal consequences of drink-driving, is aimed at reducing the numbers of deaths and injuries caused by people who drive while impaired.

The campaign reinforces the stark message that motorists who drink-drive risk ruining not just their own life – but the lives of others too, such as passengers, pedestrians and other road users.

Hampshire Police’s Sergeant Rob Heard said: “Too many people are still taking the risk to drive while impaired.

“Nearly 7,000 people were breathalysed by police across Hampshire last December, with 150 people being arrested for providing a positive result, failing to provide a specimen of breath or refusal. They could have caused a crash that killed or left someone injured with a lasting life-changing impact for themselves, family and friends.”

The campaign warns you could end up in a mortuary having died in a road crash caused by drink-driving. whether as a passenger in the car or as the impaired driver.

“Do not be tempted to get a lift from someone who will be over the limit as you are putting yourself in danger too. It’s not worth the risk,” stressed Sgt Heard.

“To anyone driving please stop and consider the consequences of a loved one being told the devastating news your reckless actions have caused the trauma and tragedy of a fatal collision.”

If you believe someone is driving while impaired, call 101 or text 80999 with details of the vehicle, driver, location and times.
