SHAME A DRINK DRIVER: PUBLICANS in west Wiltshire are backing the Wiltshire Times Shame A Drink Driver campaign.
Many pubs in the region are displaying Shame A Drink Driver stickers to help raise the crusade's profile.
Trowbridge's Chicago Rock Caf has a free telephone service for customers to call taxis instead of driving home at night. Peewee Hunt, landlord of the White Swan in Trowbridge, said: "I believe the Wiltshire Times campaign has more effect than the Government's national advertising against drink-driving.
"While I can sympathise with those people who are named and shamed, if it helps to make the roads in this area safer, I am totally in favour it must be a good thing." Donna Pease, landlady at The Old Bell Inn in Warminster, said: "Most of the time we will actually as our regulars for their car keys and they'll leave them behind the bar to collect the next day.
"We've shopped a couple of people and we are not ashamed to do so.
"I definitely support the Shame A Drink Driver campaign."
