Drivers are being warned not to drink and drive this Christmas.
Those who are drinking at Christmas parties are advised to completely avoid driving afterwards, or to find a different way home as drink driving collisions and casualties surge over the festive period. Although many think they’ll be fine to drive after a few pints, this can actually be over the legal drink driving limit - so it’s best to avoid alcohol altogether if planning to drive back home.
Although many will be drinking at Christmas parties and gatherings this year, it’s really important to know the legal limit and restrictions if driving back home afterwards - but the best advice is: if drinking, stay sober.
