Police Slam Reckless Drug Driving
PC Luke Hobbs said: “Drug driving seriously increases your risk of being involved in a collision, putting both your life and the lives of other road users at risk.”
“It is so disappointing to see people continuing to take these risks. The Roads Policing Unit here at Wiltshire Police is committed to keeping our roads safe and we will do all that we can to target individuals who drive under the influence of drugs.”
The crackdown sends a clear message: drug-driving will not be tolerated on Wiltshire’s roads.
