Bolesławiec police:
A driver's sobriety is extremely important for road safety. Even a small amount of alcohol in the body can negatively affect the ability to react quickly, properly assess the situation on the road, and concentrate. Despite the severe consequences of driving under the influence of alcohol, many drivers continue to show a dismissive attitude, which only confirms the need for police officers to conduct intensified checks in order to remove irresponsible drivers from road traffic.
