Street signs to warn of drunks

Road safety chiefs in Romania have put up traffic signs warning motorists of drunks in the road in a bid to reduce accidents.

Mayor Petru Antal of the border town of Pecica ordered the signs - saying ‘Attention - Drunks’ complete with an image of a reveller on his knees with a bottle - after despairing of the town’s accident figures.

“We are a border town and have lots of cars thundering through here all the time,” he explained. “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.”
