If you were drinking last night make sure it’s out of your system before you drive

Never drink and drive is the Christmas message from Carlow County Council over the festive period.

You’re also being reminded to take extra care on the roads over the next few days, and allow some extra time for your journey’s.

The call comes as the volume of traffic on local roads is expected to increase between now and the New Year.

They’re also reminding you to never drink and drive – and to remember to use your lights when needed.
