Checkpoints are in place across the country as part of the campaign. Spokesperson for the campaign Sergeant Gavin Coleman said the number has increased by 13 from this time last year and the message they want to deliver is  that people need to, if they're planning on having a night out, make sure they have a safe way to get home," Sgt Coleman said, adding "if you are planning to drive, don't drink, don't use drugs and "Don't get distracted by your mobile phones".
