Police Warn: Drink and Drive Whatever Your Wheels
PC 1 Sansum, Drink and Drug Driver Liaison Officer for East Kent, said: “I would like to remind people about their responsibilities when driving vehicles and encourage everyone to play their part in keeping our roads safe.”
Kent officers now carry high-tech testing kits to spot drink and drug drivers on the spot. These devices test for alcohol, cocaine, and cannabis, plus impairment from other intoxicants, making sure no one rides or drives under the influence—no matter what vehicle.
