“The majority of people know how dangerous it is to take the risk of driving under the influence and though we share this message every year, I guarantee there will be some who still choose to ignore it.

"Please don’t be one of these drivers.

“We will be out in force throughout December, ready and waiting to seek strong penalties for all those found to be offending.

"If you do not want a conviction for drink or drug driving, please make sure your name is not included on our list.”
