The Traffic Police (TP), together with the Singapore Road Safety Council (SRSC), held the Anti-Drink Drive Campaign 2022 (ADD2022) on 22 December 2022 at Ten Square, Landmark of Good. Associate Professor Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim, Minister of State (MOS), Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of National Development, graced the event as the Guest-of-Honour.
“Drink or Drive, You Decide”, is the choice that presents itself to motorists as they enjoy the festivities. Motorists must make the wise decision to pick only one of the two options, and be mindful of the adverse consequences of drink-driving.
As part of the campaign, MOS Faishal unveiled a visual with the tagline ‘Drink or Drive, You Decide’, to remind motorists not to drive if they intend to drink. Instead, they should use alternative forms of transport, engage the services of a valet, or have another designated driver among their friends and family, who will remain sober, to send them home. The visual illustrates the dangers of driving when impaired by alcohol. A moment of folly could quickly lead to tragedy, which in turn impacts family, friends, and the community. Please refer to Annex A for the design of the visual, and Annex B for photographs from the event.
The visual will be on display at Ten Square’s exterior LCD screen from 22 to 28 December 2022. To further reinforce the anti-drink drive message and remind motorists of the dangers of drink-driving, posters and banners carrying this visual will also be displayed as at Police Notice Boards located at HDB lift landings and void decks island-wide, as well as at nightspots, drinking establishments and coffee shops.
As we approach the festive season, TP and SRSC would like to wish all motorists a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. We would also like to urge everyone to practise good RoadSense and get home safely to your loved ones.

“Non-drivers also have a part to play in reminding our friends to avoid drinking and then driving. Your personal safety is of utmost importance. If your friend who has consumed alcohol offers you a lift, please reject their offer and stop them from driving. You could also take a step further and help to arrange alternative transport to get your friend home safely.” - Associate Professor Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim, Minister of State, Ministry of Home Affairs & Ministry of National Development |
