Police, public health and Bus Vannin want to hear your views on the festive drink-drive campaign.
Figures released last week suggest that motorists are still not heeding the drink safe message - with a big rise in the number of arrests this Christmas.
The recent campaign, which ran between November 26 and January 6, focused on two key themes: ’Pace Yourself’ and ’None for the Road’. Another slogan was ’Think bus not busted’.
Some 349 vehicles were stopped during the festive anti-drink drive campaign during December.
A total of 23 arrests were made which resulted in eight drivers being charged to court.
Eleven were bailed pending further inquiries and four were released without charge.
There were 14 arrests during the same operation in December 2017.
The public are being urged to complete an online survey to give their views about the campaign.
All responses will be anonymous.
The survey asks what key messages did people get from the campaign, whether it was informative and whether they did anything differently this festive season as a result.
It asks how much do you think it is acceptable to drink before your driving is affected and whether you took a late Night Owl bus home over the festive season.
During the recent campaign, roads policing officers were deployed around the island throughout the month with extra attention being placed on the roads at weekends and into the early hours of the morning.
Officers breathalysed 38 drivers and 59 vehicle defect rectification forms were also distributed during the period.
