Police force to name and shame drink-drivers this Christmas

Lincolnshire Police is to use social media over the festive period to publicly name and shame drivers caught behind the wheel while drunk. The force, which has come under criticism for the controversial plans, says that publishing details would lead other drivers to think twice about driving while under the influence of drink or drugs.

Superintendent Phil Vickers said: "It isn't about shaming people – it is about preventing offences in the first place."
