Never Drink and Drive - Safe Ride Home

Fiona Bruce MP supports ‘Never Drink and Drive’ Campaign 

Fiona Bruce MP wants to make constituents aware of a scheme to try to make the roads safer this Christmas.

The Department for Transport ‘Think!’ campaign is working hard to promote not drinking and driving this December and companies Johnnie Walker and Uber are offering festive party-goers a “safe ride home” during the festive season in London, Manchester and Leeds.  Users will need to ‘Join the Pact’ to never drink and drive in order to access a promotional code to unlock their Uber ride. 

Fiona Bruce MP saidMost people know it is wrong to drink and drive but sadly there are still some people who don’t think about their journey home before they have a drink, or think that they will be ‘fine’ and this can have devastating consequences for them, their families and other road users.  The safest option this Christmas, and always, is to pre-arrange transport home if you know you will be having a drink and never drink and drive.”
Join The Pact has already gathered commitments from more than 1.4 million people globally to never drink and drive.
