Police to launch drunk driving campaign

Police will launch a campaign on Monday which will run until June 16 to clamp down on drunk drivers and those under the influence of drugs.

The police said that drunk drivers are the second highest cause of death, accounting for 22.27 per cent of those seen during the period 2014-2018.

From Monday until Sunday June 9 the campaign will be run in co-operation with similar practices in other European countries which are members of the European Traffic Police Network (Tispol).

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
