Yesterday afternoon one of the team stopped a vehicle in Bethel near Caernarfon due to being concerned regarding the manner of driving.
An eye sight test was done at the side of the road and unbeliveably the driver failed to read a number plate at 1 metre...

You must be able to read (with glasses or contact lenses, if necessary) a vehicle number plate from 20 metres ππΌ
You don't need us to tell you that not being able to see a hazard or react to a situation quickly enough can have catastrophic consequences π

Several drink drive arrests made this weekend which is extremely disappointing π© π
All those have now been charged and have a court date to look forward to...where there's the possibility of a disqualification, fine or even prison.

Drink driving can have catastrophic consequences - believe us, we've seen the devastation it causes.
Whether through ignorance or arrogance, thereβs no excuse for drink driving. If you have concerns about someone you believe to be driving whilst under the influence, let us know

Cnocio ar ddrws rhywun i ddweud bod un annwyl iddynt wedi cael eu lladd oherwydd bod gyrrwr wedi gwneud penderfyniad hunanol i yrru o dan ddylanwad alcohol neu gyffuriau ywβr rhan waethaf o'n swydd.
Peidiwch a cymeryd y risg.

Having to knock on a door and tell someone their loved one has been killed because a driver made the selfish decision to get behind the wheel whilst under the influence is the worst part of our job.
Don't take the risk.
