Drunk driving continues to be a concern as arrests are made on a daily basis and Chief Operations Officer Acting Assistant Commissioner of Police Livai Driu says more random traffic checks will be conducted over the next 48 hours all over Fiji.

A/ACP Driu says the checks will be conducted at any time of the day due to the anticipation of increased social gatherings and long weekend.

The Chief Operations Officer urges members of the public to assist policing efforts by reporting anyone who is suspected to be driving under the influence of alcohol.

He says drunk pedestrian behaviour is also a major concern and everyone needs to play a role in road safety.

A/ACP Driu says people can expect more presence on main highways and known black spot areas over the long weekend.
