Anti-drink drive campaign hailed a success

North Yorkshire Police have said that an anti-drink drive campaign launched for the World Cup was a success.

Figures released by the police show that of 113 drivers tested during June in the city of York while the DES designated driver campaign was running, only one tested positive for alcohol, while in North Yorkshire as a whole, only two percent of those tested were positive.

The figures for both York and North Yorkshire rose slightly after the campaign ended but Inspector Dave Brown said the figures were encouraging. He said: “This is a really good result. The Association of Chief Police Officers' figures suggest a national fail rate of 5.9 per cent, so for us in York to have less than one per cent prove positive for drink driving, in June shows that the campaign has had some impact.”

The success of the campaign may lead to further ones in the battle to cut drink related road accident casualties.

I was dreading the probate process after my husband sadly died earlier this year. Friends who had been in the same situation warned me it could take months or even years. I didn't even know what it involved, it was a complete mystery to me!Thank good ness for Emily Spencer at Winston solicitors who talked me through the whole process and told me what information I needed to complete the paperwork. Emails and phone queries were answered very promptly and once I'd submitted all the figures the grant of probate was applied for by Emily and was returned within a few weeks, not months! Great result and nothing like the trauma I was anticipating.
