Operation Safe Landing Targets Holiday Drinkers | Glasgow News

Police Scotland’s new Operation Safe Landing is hitting the roads at Glasgow and Prestwick airports this summer, targeting holidaymakers who think a drink on the plane means they’re clear to drive — but it doesn’t. Officers are stepping up roadside checks, testing for drink and drugs, plus cracking down on vehicle defects, careless driving, illegal parking, and phone use behind the wheel. Building on last year’s success in Aberdeen — where over 8,500 impaired drivers were caught — the campaign’s message is blunt: if you’ve had a drink, don’t drive. With serious consequences including license loss, fines, or jail time, authorities urge travelers to plan ahead, take a lift, or use public transport. This isn’t just about enforcement — it’s about keeping everyone safe so holidays start and end without tragedy.
