Don't be an Easter "eggs-ception" to the rules 🐰 Drink OR drive. Never both. Let’s keep South Africa’s roads safe this long weekend. #RoadSafety #EasterWeekend #ZeroTolerance @AwareOrg @SA_wine

A safe plan isn’t something you figure out after the third round 🍻 Plan your ride home before the first drink. If a friend or family member is about to drive this Easter, step in. Their safety matters more than their ego. 🛑🚗#EasterSafety #DontDrinkAndDrive @AwareOrg @SA_wine

This Easter, look out for your circle. If someone’s had too much to drink, be the voice of reason. Help them make a safe plan to get home. Let’s make sure everyone who starts the long weekend, finishes it. 🚗#EasterSafety #DontDrinkAndDrive #RoadSafety @AwareOrg @SA_wine

Real friends don’t let friends become a statistic 🛑This Easter, look out for each other. If someone’s had too much to drink, help them call a ride or find a safe way home. If you’re drinking, don’t drive. Period. #EasterSafety #DontDrinkAndDrive #RoadSafety @SA_wine @AwareOrg

Heineken Beverages joined forces with key partners to promote road safety this Easter. Responsible consumption shouldn’t be seasonal - it’s an everyday responsibility. #RoadSafety #EasterSafety
