An SNP MSP and former cop has highlighted the risks of drink-driving as Scots wind down for Christmas.
Audrey Nicoll served in the police force for 30 years before she was elected as MSP for Aberdeen South and North Kincardine. Earlier this month Police Scotland launched a campaign to warn of the dangers of consuming alcohol and drugs before getting behind the wheel.
It comes following the force's 2021 campaign where 600 drivers were detected for drink or drug-driving offences. Ms Nicoll, who also convenes Holyrood’s Justice Committee, said: “While the festive season is a time for us to come together with friends and family, our enjoyment cannot come at the expense of the safety of us and those around us.
