POLICE have released shocking dashcam footage of drink and drug drivers to serve as a warning to those who are thinking of flouting the law this summer.

Last week, GMP launched a month-long operation which will see them ramping up their fight against drink and drug drivers.

The initiative coincides with the warmer weather and Euros, which police expect will bring more temptation to drive under the influence.

As part of this campaign, the force has released footage showing the effect drink and drugs has on drivers.

The shocking footage shows drivers smashing into motorway barriers, swerving between lanes, speeding up to 100 mph and crashing into traffic islands.

Inspector Susan Redfern from GMP’s Road Policing Unit said: “Drink and drug driving ruins lives and we want your summer to be memorable for the right reasons. Don’t ruin it with a conviction or, worse still, serious injury or death.

“Please stick to ‘none for the road’ if you’re driving. If you’re under the influence, arrange alternative transport home or nominate a designated driver.”

New kit and legislation were introduced last year making it quicker and easier than ever to catch drug drivers.

Using a swab of saliva, officers can test at the roadside for cannabis or cocaine.

To report a drink driver call 101 or 999 if they pose an immediate threat to themselves or others.
