An Edinburgh pub is aiming to deter drink-driving by displaying stickers that customers can urinate on.

The Queen's Arms, in Frederick Street, has put heat-sensitive stickers in urinals to warn of the dangers of drink-driving.

The stickers, which change colour when urinated on, are part of a new Scottish Road Safety Campaign initiative.

Punters are reminded they risk a driving ban, their job or their life if they drink and drive.

The features of the road safety body's campaign include washroom posters and advertising.

Founded in 1985, the SRSC is funded by the Scottish Executive and its remit is to develop and co-ordinate Scotland's wide road safety initiatives and campaigns.
