MOTORISTS have been warned about the risks of drink-driving as police in Hampshire launch their annual crackdown.

The 'Where will you end up tonight?' campaign is aimed at reducing the numbers of deaths and injuries caused on our roads by people who drive under the influence.

It features a mortuary, to emphasise the potentially fatal consequences of drink-driving. The campaign reinforces the message that motorists who drink-drive risk ruining not just their own life, but the lives of others, including passengers and pedestrians.

Hampshire Constabulary's road safety sergeant Rob Heard said: “Too many people are still taking the risk to drive whilst impaired. Nearly 7,000 people were breathalysed by police across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight last December, with 150 people being arrested for providing a positive result, failing to provide or refusal.

"They could have caused a crash that killed or left someone injured with a lasting life-changing impact for themselves, family and friends."

If you believe someone is driving whilst impaired, Hampshire Constabulary ask you to contact them on 101 or text 80999 with details of the vehicle, driver, location and times.

If you wish to remain anonymous, contact the independent Crimestoppers charity by phoning 0800 555 111.
