'Get the simple things right' - Drivers urged to slow down over bank holiday weekend

"Every arrest that we make for drink or drug driving we are saving a life on the roads. We have prevented that person from going on ahead and causing a collision which could quite easily take their life or the life of somebody else."

"If you're going out for a drink, please, please ensure that you have got a lift home. Whatever you do, do not go behind the wheel of your car intoxicated."

"We talk a lot about mobile phones, but it's any type of distraction, it could be thinking about what we have to do when we get home, it could be looking at something else on the side of the road."

"If we get the simple things right we can save lives on the road," she said.
