impaired drivers were arrested over the weekend.

One was nabbed after a crash but Police said there were no injuries.

A Police spokeswoman said: "With the holiday season, and the hosting of office Christmas parties, Police are again appealing to members of the public to act responsibly.

"If you drink to excess, don't drive. And if you drive, please don't drink.'' In the House of Assembly on Friday, Transport Minister Dr. Ewart Brown also encouraged motorists to be safe this Christmas and nominate a designated driver if they were drinking.

But he said there were signs that the message had been getting through.

He said: "There are fewer fatalities this year than in many, many years. I urge the public to continue to be safe and to be responsible.'' Reminder to voters Premier Jennifer Smith has issued a reminder to voters that new Parliamentary Registration rules mean they must re-register when moving or changing names.

After annual registration was abandoned last year, Bermudians have been required to notify the Parliamentary Registrar of any change of address within 28 days of moving.

A recent mass mailing of political materials had brought to light the problem after a number of the letters were returned because the address on election rolls was not current.

Ms Smith said: "When we removed the need for annual Parliamentary Registration, persons on the list became responsible under the new regulations, for notifying the Parliamentary Registrar of any change of address within 28 days of moving.

"I urge voters to make sure that their registration information is correct,'' she added.
