Police will hold a Hong Kong-wide road safety campaign October 6 to 8 with a focus on drink driving.

Officers will invite people in bar areas to take voluntary breath tests and distribute publicity leaflets appealling to motorists not to drive after drinking.

Strict enforcement action will be taken against offenders during the period.

There were 9,733 accidents in the first eight months of this year, down 151 cases on the same period last year. Of them, 58 involved drink driving.
