Comment
Mike Roberts, chairman of Keith Michaels said:
“It’s incredibly compelling that drink and driving convictions fell once again in 2020. Although this may have been helped by various lockdowns throughout the year, the ongoing decline will hopefully continue in the future, meaning our roads will increasingly become safer as people take their responsibilities as drivers and duty of care on the roads more seriously. The best way to not be caught drink or drug driving is by not taking any chances, therefore if you’re uncertain whether you should get behind the wheel,be wary and travel another way.”
Minimum Conviction
