As we head into the second week of operations to target drink and drug drivers, Durham Constabulary has released footage in a bid to urge people not to drive under the influence.
The recordings, filmed by officers using their bodycams, show the devastating consequences of driving under the influence and the sheer ignorance of those who choose to flout the law.
Further videos will be released in the lead up to Christmas in the hope that those who choose to drive under the influence will pay attention and start listening.
In addition to the media campaign, officers from the force’s Roads and Armed Policing Unit have been out on the ground carrying out random vehicle stops and intelligence-led enforcement in a bid to remove drivers who are under the influence and keep people safe.
So far, 398 checks have been carried out across County Durham and Darlington.
Officers have arrested three people, one for drink driving and two for drug driving. They have also seized two vehicles, one for no insurance and one due to the driver being disqualified and have issued a ticket for no seatbelt.
Teams will continue their checks into the New Year to target those who put others at risk.
Start listening, life is precious.
