Life's sweet drive sober

The Christmas season traditionally means an increase in drink driving incidents around Auckland City.

This year, Auckland City Council is teaming up with the New Zealand Police and Sky City Auckland to support a "Life's Sweet, Drive sober" campaign. The campaign encourages people to nominate a sober driver or to take a cab home over the festive season.

Posters have been placed around the city, in local bars and in car parking buildings. Promotion teams will be out on Friday evenings from 7 December up until Christmas handing out sweets with the drive sober message on them.

Last year's campaign received positive feedback. The council is pleased to be involved in this initiative which helps to ensure everyone gets home safely and responsibly over the Christmas period.
