Meanwhile, Gardaí are encouraging motorists this festive party season to make the right choice so that you safely make it home to your loved ones. Driving under the influence of drink or drugs has potentially lethal consequences. According to local Gardaí, it increases impulsive behaviour and the tendency to take more risks, impairs your ability to concentrate on the road and distorts your judgement as well as your ability to react.
