Tipperary Gardaí urge people to think before they drive over festive period
Gardaí will be out in force across the Tipperary Division over the coming days with checkpoints for both drink and drug driving according to officials in the county.
Thurles based Inspector James White says it’s better to be safe than sorry.
“If you consume alcohol you may very well be still over the legal limit to drive the following morning.
“So we’re appealing to people that if there’s a possibility that you may be over the limit do not drive.
“If you encounter a checkpoint or a Garda patrol and you’re requested to undergo a roadside breath test and you fail this you will fine yourself arrested and processed on suspicion of drink driving.
“So please if in doubt do not drive.”
