It’s only a few days away until our Easter holidays are here and we know our roads will become busier.
People are travelling to spend time with their loved ones and friends or to have a holiday in a destination away from home.
Just remember to think about your drink and be aware of how alcohol may affect you.
Drink and drug driving is one factor of the Fatal Five, which we know causes fatalities, serious injury and road trauma.
Keep safe everyday on our roads.
