IF you drink-drive this Christmas, your face will appear in the Grimsby Telegraph for everyone to see - and here online.
On the back of previous successful campaigns, we are launching our annual festive drink-driving blitz in conjunction with Humberside Police, where we name and shame drivers caught over the limit between December 1 and January 4. All named and shamed drink-drivers will be pictured in your Telegraph and online below. Humberside Police have started their crackdown and will also target those who get behind the wheel after taking drugs. We also encourage everyone to phone the police if they suspect someone is a drink-driver or drug-driver. Call the numbers here. |
