This year’s Festive Drink-Drug Driving Safety Campaign was launched on 8 December 2008 and will run for 4 weeks over the festive Season until Monday 5 January 2009. While police officers will be on the lookout at all times for drink drivers, there will be a focus on this in the mornings when many drivers may not be aware they could still have drugs or excess alcohol in their systems.
The campaign involves all eight Scottish police forces, the Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland (ACPOS), the Scottish Government and Road Safety Scotland.
Road Safety Scotland is supporting the campaign with 48 and 96 sheet billboards at 99 sites across Scotland for two weeks from 1 December; three weeks radio from 1 December; through the supply of posters and beermats on request as well as Norman Naemates on Facebook and online activity at www.dontriskit.info
