🚫🥂 Don’t drink and drive this festive season! The holidays are a time for celebration, but drinking and driving can have devastating consequences.

❌ Think Before You Drink:

Alcohol impairs judgment and slows reaction times.
Every year, lives are lost and families are shattered due to irresponsible choices.
🔑 Make the Responsible Choice:

Plan ahead: Arrange a designated driver, use public transport, or book a taxi.
If you’re drinking, don’t risk getting behind the wheel.
This festive season, let’s prioritise safety and ensure everyone makes it home. Your choices matter. Go to https://www.drinkaware.co.uk/facts/information-about-alcohol/alcohol-and-the-law/drink-driving/drink-driving-and-the-legal-alcohol-limit
