Fair warning … police will take a zero tolerance approach to drink or drug driving throughout the Wine & Food In The Park festival weekend in March (Photo: QPS)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

February 24, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Plan to have fun but plan not to drink and drive … this is the message from Kingaroy Police ahead of the South Burnett Wine and Food in the Park Festival on Saturday week.<\/p>\n

Officer-in-charge of Kingaroy Police, Senior Sergeant Duane Frank, said as well as regular RBT patrols, a drug-testing unit would also be stationed in the area to test drivers over the March 8-9 weekend.<\/p>\n

“There will be zero tolerance for drink or drug driving,” Snr Sgt Frank said.<\/p>\n

He said if people planned to drink at the festival, they should leave their car at home or make other arrangements such as selecting a “designated driver” or booking a taxi.<\/p>\n

Snr Sgt Frank said if people decided to continue partying uptown after the event it was important to keep in mind “responsible drinking”.<\/p>\n

“Watch your mates. If they’re intoxicated send them home. Keep them out of trouble and keep them out of the pub,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
