THE Central and North Burnett Times and the Queensland Police Service will be joining forces to tackle the widespread problem of drink or drug driving.

We have devised a list of the drink or drug-drivers that have gone through Gayndah Magistrates Court. 

We hope this list will endeavour to act as a deterrent for those putting others at risk by drink or drug-driving in our region.
