Drivers Warned of Drunks in Road as Romania Tries to Reduce Accidents

TIMES ONLINE: Road signs warning drivers that drunken people may be in the road have been put up to reduce the number of accidents.

The signs read "Attention - Drunks" and show a reveller crawling along with a bottle in his hand.

Petru Antal, the Mayor of Pecica in Romania said his town had a vibrant nightlife. He said: “We are a border town and have lots of cars thundering through here all the time. But we also have a very vibrant nightlife and the two don't mix.

“We have to target the drivers because by the time they get to this state the pedestrians are beyond caring.” [Source: Times Online] | Foreign Staff | Wednesday, March 10, 2010
