Officers from the Royal Gibraltar Police roads policing uUnit launched the Christmas drink drive campaign on Monday this week. The initiative will see an increased number of officers on the roads during the festive season, targeting those who get behind the wheel under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

“It is hoped the campaign will help keep the Rock’s roads safer during the festive period,” a statement said.

Officers will be carrying out extra patrols along with proactive operations and roadside checks. These will be held at different times, including early morning operations, when drivers could still be impaired from celebrations the night before.

Inspector Daniel Ruffle, of the RGP's roads policing unit, said, “In the run up to Christmas, Gibraltar traditionally sees an increase in drink-driving offences.”

“It’s not our intention to stop people from having fun,” he added.
