Many festivalgoers are likely to consume large quantities of alcohol over two to three days and then quite possibly drive home the morning after the event. But it’s not only people attending festivals who are susceptible to morning after drink driving; during the summer months large amounts of alcohol are often consumed at weddings, BBQs and evening parties. Our campaign highlights the issue of morning after drink driving in an informative and non-threatening manner. We provide people with information to help them make an informed decision as to whether they will be safe and legal to drive the ‘morning after’. STENNIK | TWO RESoURcES For several years the ‘Morning After’ campaign has Summer provided low-cost resources to enable road safety teams and other stakeholders to remind drivers about of this issue.
