Get Home Safe This World Cup

Author: The Daily News Now! June 8, 2026 Duration: 1:42

With the World Cup kicking off, Liverpool City Council is sounding the alarm: don’t drive drunk while watching the matches. Thousands of fans are expected to gather in pubs and homes, but the council’s message is clear — one bad decision behind the wheel can ruin lives. Last year, over 1,600 people were caught driving impaired, with alcohol linked to more than half of 36 crashes. Drivers aged 40–49 and men were most frequently arrested. Nationally, one in six road deaths involves drink driving. As the government considers stricter laws and penalties, Liverpool’s campaign supports Vision Zero — aiming for zero avoidable deaths by 2040. Enjoy the games, celebrate smart, and plan your ride home before kickoff.
