Surrey and Sussex Police have launched their yearly crackdown against drink and drug drivers.

From yesterday to 1 January, the Police will have resources dedicated to preventing and detecting incidents of drink and drug-driving.

The consequences of drink or drug-driving could include:

• Killing or seriously injuring yourself or someone else;
• A minimum 12-month ban;
• An unlimited fine;
• A possible prison sentence;
• A criminal record, which could affect your current and future employment;
• An increase in your car insurance costs;
• Trouble travelling to countries such as the USA.

 In keeping with previous campaigns, anyone arrested during this period and convicted will be identified on the force’s website and social media channels.
