Police have urged the public to “act responsibly” over the holiday weekend and warned that officers will be looking out for motorists who are seen to be speeding or driving drunk.

“The upcoming Good Friday holiday and Easter Weekend will see a number of events and festive activities take place at various locations across the island,” said a police spokeman. “The BPS would like to encourage the public to enjoy themselves, however, we are reminding everyone to act responsibly.

“The motoring public should also be mindful that police will be visible on the roads during the holiday period. In addition, there will be an emphasis on offences such as speeding, impaired driving and driving without due care and attention. Remember slow down on the roads and if you are going to drink make sure that you have a designated driver, do not drink and drive.”
