Should we tweet where the booze buses are located?

A customer asked me if we could tweet where the booze buses are as our drivers drive pass them (or get breathalized) every night so that he is reminded to call us if he needs us.

At first I thought why not but then, hmmm maybe not because we don't want to encourage people to drink-drive and take the back streets but then the second thought was that it would make people aware that there is no escaping from them as they are virtually everywhere and the question drink-drivers should asked themselves is not if they're going to be caught but when.

Currently the people who follow us on Facebook and tweeter are people who value our service and want the roads to be a safe place for everyone but then would it change the nature of our followers if we were to start spotting the booze buses?

Could it be seen as a form of interference with police actions such as when people flash incoming traffic when there is a speed camera?

On the other hand, is it not warning people not to chance it and reminding them to use our service (or whatever means of transport they want) and/or inform their friends and family to do the same when they know it is in their areas?

I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this. Please feel free to comment.

In the meantime we will still inform you of unexpected traffic jams!
