We reveal how Police use Twitter and Facebook to change human behaviour. The following list is a proof that our Police can make an impact in our lives.
Apologies for the click-bait title. We didn’t want to stoop down to the tabloid level but sharing information on the dangers of alcohol and drunk driving is extremely important and we need your help. Whatever it takes, the more people we can reach, the better. The more of these images you can share, the better. Can we save at least one life?
Here is a collection of the different types of messages Police, NGOs and smart thinking Twitter citizens use to warn and shock and about drunk driving.
Bloody Idiot!

Earlier in 2009, TAC Victoria produced “Never”
