Below is a Christmas message for all people tempted to drink and Drive or take drugs and drive to same message applies for the new year.
Have a happy one and heed the message below.
Drinking or taking drugs and then driving is a lethal cocktail, so we are urging party-goers to leave their car at home this Christmas.
As the festivities get underway, our Roads Policing Unit has already kicked off its annual Christmas drink drive campaign - Operation Tonic, with nearly 50 people being arrested for drink or drug driving in the first week.
This year we are encouraging people to shop a drink or drug driver by calling 999 or texting the word drunk to 81819 on their mobile phone together with any information which might help us respond. This might include the vehicle registration number of the vehicle and its location and, if you can, the name of the person. These texts are treated in the same way we treat 999 calls.
For more information about Operation Tonic, visit our Christmas mircosite atwww.avonandsomerset.police.uk/Christmas
