Police promised a “strong, highly visible presence” over this holiday weekend, with more aggressive enforcement of laws against using a cell phone while driving in the coming year.Noting that police had made several arrests on suspicion of drunk driving over the Christmas holidays, Superintendent Martin Weekes warned motorists the vigilance would continue.“Patrols will again be paying particular attention to offences of impaired driving this weekend, and we ask the motoring public for their patience when travelling on the roads this weekend where they are caught up in road checks designed to keep our roads safe.”Supt Weekes thanked the public for its support, over Christmas holidays that proved largely trouble free.Referring to the armed robbery at the Hitching Post in Sandys, Supt Weekes renewed the appeal for witnesses.Otherwise, he said, minor incidents of violence in and around licenced premises were “swiftly and robustly dealt with”. No serious injuries were reported.Police will maintain a presence at tonight’s festivities, plus New Year’s Day football games and any large events, Supt Weekes said.As for the use of hand-held mobile devices while driving, and of other distracting electronics in cars, he warned the police service would be “ramping up its response”.Motorists have already been ticketed under the new law.Supt Weekes was joined by Bermuda Road Safety Council representative David Minors, who called on residents to “seize the opportunity, to embrace this New Year, by pledging to drive better, drive smarter, drive safer”.The group’s message over the holiday season has been on “making sure to be there to make memories”, Mr Minors said, adding: “Bermuda, let us continue, as we go into the New Year, with that same ideal cherishing the moments we have together, and making healthy decisions.”Urging drivers to secure their helmets, fasten seat belts and not to drink and drive, Mr Minors reiterated that police would start cracking down on cell phone laws from January 4.
