The Department of Infrastructure has launched its World Cup anti-drink drive campaign.

The campaign suggests drivers will end up in prison or hospital if they get behind the wheel after consuming alcohol.

Motorists face a 12 month driving ban, up to a £5000 fine and six months in jail if prosecuted for drink driving.

Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne expects more people will be drinking outside their own homes during the tournament [play clip]
