“We all know, drinking alcohol reduces your ability to drive safely, affecting your judgement, vision, co-ordination and reflexes, increasing your risk of having a crash.”
“The likeliness that this will have a fatal consequence or an enormous impact on another person is high and it is disappointing that road users continue to make these poor decisions.”
“Make the right choice this festive season so everyone using our roads can make it to their destination safely.”
“If you’re over, it’s over,” she said.
