NORTH Yorkshire Police’s Take Care at Christmas campaign has so far led to 37 arrests for suspected drink and drug driving.
Twenty five people have been charged and some of them will appear in court before Christmas.
Regular patrols based on intelligence will continue over the weekend to target drivers who put lives in danger.
Traffic Sergeant Paul Cording, of North Yorkshire Police, said: “The simple fact is drink driving ruins lives and destroys families who lose loved ones in tragic circumstances.”
North Yorkshire Police’s Take Care at Christmas campaign features 12 videos with tips about keeping safe.
Those who suspect anyone of driving under the influence of drink or drugs should contact North Yorkshire police on 101 – select option 1 – and pass information to the force control room or Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.
