Shoppers will be reminded about the dangers of drink-driving as graphic adverts in supermarket aisles become the latest method of deterrence to be used by police.

Images of twisted and dented vehicles will be on display at Sainsbury's Lancaster store, with others set to follow suit.

Police officers will also carry out two dedicated days of roadside stop-checks in the run-up to Christmas to clamp down on motorists who are over the limit.

Nigel Ralphson, from Lancaster's road policing unit, said: "It's not just about the obvious risks of drink-driving but the long-term impact a conviction for drink-driving would have."
