Sussex drink and drug driving Christmas campaign: Multiple convicts named by police

Operation Limit is a nationwide campaign, aimed at tackling drink and drug-driving which runs from December 1 to January 1.

Some of those convicted of these offences will be identified by Sussex Police ‘to help raise awareness of the campaign’ and to ‘highlight the consequences as a deterrent’ to others to prevent them committing the same offences.

Head of RPU Superintendent Rachel Glenton said: “Those who commit these offences risk punishments which include being disqualified from driving, heavy fines, and even the risk of going to prison.

“These are nothing compared to the risk they pose of causing serious harm or even the death of themselves or other road users.

“Drink or drug driving is one of the main causes of people being killed or seriously injured on our roads.

“That is why we continue to urge people to take steps to prevent drink and drug-driving, such as persuading loved ones not to drive, and taking sensible steps such as pre-booking taxis or walking home.
