Drink driving warning for credit customers
Nov 30 2007
Drivers considering taking the car to Christmas parties this year could be risking injury, damage and a Bad Credit rating.
Those are some of the potential outcomes that the government will be seeking to limit with its new anti-drink driving campaign.
Police and the Department of Transport launched the Christmas Think! campaign today in a bid to reduce the number of accidents that occur due to festive drink driving.
Transport minister Jim Fitzpatrick warned drivers with good and bad credit alike: "Being caught has serious consequences - a criminal record, minimum one year driving ban and large fine.
"It's just not worth paying this price for a couple of drinks at the Christmas party. Leave the car keys at home."
