SURREY Police will publish the name of any motorist charged with drink or drug driving offences throughout December, as part of a multi-force crackdown.
Anyone ordered to appear in court on suspicion of having committed a drink or drug-driving offence will have their names and details published online and made available to the media.
Officers are also encouraging tip-offs from members of the public who see someone they know has been drinking getting into a car to drive.
Road policing unit officers will be looking for offenders and will tweet any arrests.
The campaign is to be run jointly by Sussex Police and Surrey Police alongside Sussex Safer Roads Partnership, Drive Smart in Surrey and the charity Crimestoppers.
Stop checks will also be set up at locations across Surrey, in particular at areas where a history of drink-driving has been established.
Superintendent Jane Derrick, the head of road policing across Sussex and Surrey, said: "There is no excuse for driving while over the limit or after taking drugs but there remains a small minority who refuse to believe that the law applies to them.
"Some people who would never consider mixing drink or drugs with driving throughout the rest of the year may mentally switch off at their Christmas party and get behind the wheel afterwards.
"This year we want people to plan ahead so that before the last drink has been drunk they know how they are getting home and don't even consider driving themselves.
"Also, don't forget that after a late night heavy session you will undoubtedly still be over the limit if you decide to drive in the morning. Some sleep and strong coffee will not make a difference.
"The impact of a drink or drug-driving conviction upon an individual's life and that of their family should not be underestimated."
Drug testing equipment will be used at custody suites to see if arrested motorists have cannabis in their systems.
Officers will tweet about people stopped on suspicion of drink or drug-driving offences throughout the month, giving brief details such as when and where the motorists were pulled over.
