An eye sight test was done at the side of the road and unbeliveably the driver failed to read a number plate at 1 metre...

Several drink drive arrests made this weekend which is extremely disappointing 😩 😞
All those have now been charged and have a court date to look forward to...where there's the possibility of a disqualification, fine or even prison.

Cnocio ar ddrws rhywun i ddweud bod un annwyl iddynt wedi cael eu lladd oherwydd bod gyrrwr wedi gwneud penderfyniad hunanol i yrru o dan ddylanwad alcohol neu gyffuriau yw’r rhan waethaf o'n swydd.
Peidiwch a cymeryd y risg.

Having to knock on a door and tell someone their loved one has been killed because a driver made the selfish decision to get behind the wheel whilst under the influence is the worst part of our job.
Don't take the risk.

Thank you to those who called us yesterday reporting a HGV swerving between lanes on the eastbound carriageway of the A55 by Penmaenmawr 👏🏼
We located the vehicle a short while later and stopped it - driver arrested after testing positive for cocaine 😠
We are urging anybody who witnessed a road traffic collision in Llay earlier this month to please contact us.
At approximately 10:15 on Wednesday, October 4 a collision occurred on the B5102 on Llay Straight Mile near to the Croes Howell restaurant.
⬇️
Today (Saturday) has been a busy day where we've dealt with a serious collision involving two motorcycles, a separate collision involving a child and another collision whereby a female has sustained serious injuries.
(thread 👇🏼 )
...so we are asking all road users to please be extra vigilant, patient and considerate of others.
Any chance we could all try to make tomorrow a no casualty day?
Please stay safe on the roads 💙

'Ffordd dawel bydd neb yn poeni os wnaf i edrych ar fy ffôn.’ Mae’n cymryd eiliad i gael gwrthdrawiad a gweddill fy fywyd i fyw gyda’r peth.
'The road is quiet, nobody will care if I quickly check my phone...' It takes seconds to crash, a lifetime to live with it.

Mae peidio â gwisgo gwregys diogelwch yn gallu bod yn benderfyniad angheuol hyd yn oed ar deithiau
byr, cyfarwydd ac ar gyflymder isel.
Not wearing a seatbelt can be a fatal decision even on short, familiar journeys and at low speeds.

Your friends would rather wait a while for you to reply than never get to see you again. PLEASE DON'T TEXT AND DRIVE.
Byddai'n well gan dy ffrindiau aros ychydig am eich ateb na pheidio dy weld di byth eto. PAID Â THECSTIO A GYRRU.

You cannot calculate your alcohol limit - it depends on the amount and type of drink, your weight, sex, age, and metabolism. Drink OR Drive.
#Fatal5
Allwch chi ddim dweud faint yw’ch terfyn ar alcohol - mae’n dibynnu faint rydych chi’n ei yfed, y math o ddiod, eich pwysau, eich rhyw, eich oed a’ch metabolaeth. Yfwch NEU Gyrrwch.
