She is urging people to be careful at Christmas
A widow says her children deal with the damage caused by drink driving everyday after their dad was killed. Clair Osborne, 48, of Mansfield Woodhouse, who lost her husband in a crash caused by a drink-driver in 2021, is supporting a campaign by Nottinghamshire Police to dissuade people from drink-driving as Christmas nears.
Mrs Osborne has urged people to plan how they will get home if they are going to be drinking alcohol on a night out. She said: “If you’ve got work dos or have got Christmas parties planned, that’s the key word – they are planned. Plan your taxi, plan your lift home."If you’re driving and anybody tries to tempt you to have a drink, just ask yourself, is it worth it? I have to see what it’s done to my children every day because someone decided to drink-drive.
Neighbourhood Policing Sergeant Stuart Howe, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “It’s vital we continue to take positive action, like these operations, to keep our road users safe and educate drivers on the potentially fatal consequences of their actions. “Speed limits and driving laws are there to protect all road users. We need all drivers to abide by the law as no-one wants to receive the knock at the door to say their loved one has been killed.
