Fiji’s police have taken decisive action in response to an alarming spike in drunk driving incidents, arresting 29 individuals, including an active officer, within a 48-hour period just four days before Christmas. This crackdown is part of a broader zero-tolerance strategy implemented by traffic authorities during the festive season, aimed at enhancing road safety and protecting innocent road users from potentially deadly accidents.
The police highlighted the concerning trend of motorists disregarding safety recommendations, which poses significant risks not only to themselves but to others on the road. They stressed that excessive alcohol consumption can endanger lives and disrupt various facets of daily existence.
Authorities are urging the public to take proactive measures to ensure safety during this festive period by planning ahead, appointing designated sober drivers, and making responsible choices. With these collective efforts, the hope is to foster a safe and enjoyable holiday season for everyone in Fiji.
