According to police, there is a trend on social media where young people are challenged to drive with alcohol in their bodies. In the last three months, police have stopped six A-tractor drivers in the Umeå area suspected of drunk driving. " The police have themselves highlighted the problem of young people driving drunk on their social media.
" The specific social media platforms or trends involved in encouraging drunk driving among youth have not been identified. The ages of the six A-tractor drivers stopped and their blood alcohol levels remain unknown. Police continue to monitor the situation as they work to address this concerning pattern.
It is a worrying trend that we must put a stop to.
Six is an incredibly high number in a short time for such a limited age group.
Think, please, an accident resulting from drunk driving becomes so much worse than one might think.
The vast majority are well-behaved, nice, and proper.
