Police target drink and drug drivers this December

Festive campaign warns: 'Driving intoxicated ruins more than Christmas'

Police are urging people not to get behind the wheel whilst intoxicated over the festive period and say they will be targeting those that do so.

The Isle of Man Constabulary has launched its Christmas campaign aimed at eliminating drug and drink driving on the Island’s roads.

This year's awareness campaign tells the story of someone on a night out who takes drugs and is stopped by police whilst driving.

You can watch it here:

Officers say the effects of drink or drug driving can extend far beyond that of the driver and can affect their health, family, relationships and career.

They add there is no profile for a drug or drink driver and gender and lifestyle are irrelevant.
