Members of the public are being offered up to £200 by West Midlands Police to report their friends who drink and drive this Christmas.
Police have announced the move in this year’s Christmas crackdown on drink drivers. This year will see officers stopping cars both randomly and based on information about vehicles believed to be used by drink drivers
Anyone who reports their friends will be rewarded up to £200 if they’re eventually charged and prosecuted. People can make the call anonymously via Crimestoppers or they can phone police direct.
Motorway police will also be staging operations throughout the 450 miles of the Birmingham and Midlands networks.
This year will see officers stopping cars both randomly and based on information about vehicles believed to be used by drink drivers.
In 2012 almost 4,000 drivers were stopped and breath tested by West Midlands Police over the festive period, with 338 people either failing the test or refusing to offer a specimen.
