Christmas is just around the corner and while we look forward to celebrating with our loved ones, let's bear in mind that last festive season, almost 9,000 drivers were caught drink or drug driving in the UK - with numbers increasing year on year.

Don't let drink or drug put someone you love in danger.

Crimestoppers is an independent charity that gives people the power to speak up and stop crime, 100% anonymously. If you suspect someone is drink or drug driving regularly, tell Crimestoppers what you know, 100% anonymously: https://ow.ly/vfac50Qf3Pr
