The Craven Community Safety Partnership has launched a drink-drive campaign to coincide with the World Cup.
“People consuming alcohol will have more temptation to consider driving,” said Ben Cairns, chairman of the partnership’s road safety task group. “But nobody likes penalties, whether they are in a football match or in the form of fixed-penalty notices or points on your licence. Be aware that, if you do drink drive, you will get caught.”
Stacey Mitchell, manager of the Craven Community Safety Partnership, said: “Extra officers will be on duty during the World Cup and they will be patrolling more. We are warning people that they should think about what they’re doing.”
