We’ll have a soft one for the road

Transport Minister Keith Brown, left, and Coca-Cola operations manager for Scotland John McLean enjoyed a soft drink at the Albanach Bar in the Royal Mile, as they launched a national designated driver partnership aimed at saving lives over Christmas and New Year.

The plan will see the Scottish Government, Road Safety Scotland and Coca Cola unite in rewarding responsible drivers, with a campaign running in more than 1000 bars and pubs across Scotland.
