A wrecked car is the latest shock tactic used by the police to warn people not to drink and drive at Christmas.
The mangled vehicle was put on display yesterday at the entrance to the Cross-Harbour Tunnel in Causeway Bay, providing a stark reminder to drivers of the dangers of getting behind the wheel after taking a tipple.
A huge bottle embedded in the car reads: 'If you drink, don't drive!'
The vehicle, wrecked in an accident, will be displayed until March 15.
'This serves as a reminder to the public, especially drivers, that the possible result of drink-driving will be a fatal accident and unforgettable remorse,' said Yu Kam-kee, of the Road Safety Campaign Committee.
Superintendent Shirley Chu Ming-po of traffic branch headquarters said the wreck would attract attention. Although the display was shocking, it would not block the view of drivers or distract them, and traffic in the tunnel was usually slow.
