Police warn of 'ripple effect' of driving under influence of drugs or alcohol

Annual campaign urges drivers to think of the devastating impact of driving while impaired

Could you live with yourself if your decision to drive while under the influence of drugs or alcohol resulted in someone's death?

That's the focus on the Isle of Man Constabulary's annual drink and drug driving campaign in the run up to Christmas.

The 'ripple effect' campaign looks at the devastating impact driving while impaired can have, including the risk of losing your job, how your family will react and how it would feel if you harmed someone else while driving under the influence.

The police are urging the Manx public to plan ahead by using public transport or arranging a lift over the festive period.
