Acting Assistant Commissioner Mike Keating warns drivers booze bus will be out in force this Christmas Police have warned motorists to expect to be breathalised this festive season. THE Christmas breath-testing blitz has begun, with not even one of the state's top policemen able to skip the booze bus. Speaking about the Queensland Police Services' Christmas Road Safety campaign, Acting Assistant Commissioner Mike Keating said he himself had been breath tested on the way to work on Christmas Eve. He said the public could expect to see the police out in force over the festive period, involved in a range of activities. "Random breath testing is important but so too are other measures," he said. Police will be out in force across the state. Acting Commissioner Keating urged people to not drink and drive, to not speed and to avoid driving while fatigued. "We would ask people to exercise good judgement and travel safely, road safety is their responsibility every day," he said. Drink driving is a huge risk, if you're going to have a drink over the Christmas period, please don't drive your car. Acting Assistant Commissioner Mike Keating says no one should think they can escape being breathalised. You're at risk and so too are your passengers and other people around you. Six people were killed in five separate crashes across the state during the festive period last year. "I'm sure Christmas is a tragic reminder (to those families) of that personal loss," Acting Commissioner Keating said. You don't want to be in that and we don't want to be involved in that. In reference to an incident on a Surfer's Paradise beach yesterday where a 4WD driven by a lifeguard struck a man and a woman, Acting Commissioner Keating said it was important to take care wherever a vehicle was involved. "The road's the obvious places where people drive cars but we also see people use motor vehicles in a range of different places which are technically roads of authorised motorways," he said. We would ask people no matter what they're doing on the roads, whether they're a driver, a pedestrian, on a motorcycle, whether you're a truck driver, no matter what you're doing, road safety is your responsibility.
