POLICE will be carrying out roadside testing for drink driving and also drug driving across the Humberside Force area in the run up to Christmas and New Year. A spokesperson told us: “We want everyone to have a holly jolly Christmas, but if you have had a drink, it is extremely important that you plan your journey home or ensure you have a designated driver.”

Last year, they arrested 159 people for drink and drug driving throughout the festive season. And in the first week of this year’s Roads Policing Unit campaign to tackle drink/drug drivers on local roads, 10 of 19 drugs wipes came out positive.
