Drink Driving Dropping
I was extremely relieved that the results of a Wales wide campaign over Christmas against drink driving have proved a huge success, with 12% fewer people failing the tests. Of 14,194 breath tests conducted across Wales in a month-long campaign, 564 drivers IE. Only 5.2% failed.
Making our roads safer has been a key campaign of mine during my time as an Assembly Member and I am extremely pleased that our police forces are making progress in tackling what they refer to as “irresponsible actions”. Education also has a part to play and powerful messages at schools and in the media all help.
I welcome the zero-tolerance approach adopted to drink-driving and congratulate the police on a job well done.
I hope people across Wales will have realised that drink-driving will not be tolerated at any time of the year and I will work with the Police to make sure this message gets across.
