TALLINN (Reuters) - Estonian police have sent 700 Christmas cards to the Baltic country's worst drivers, hoping that pictures of car crashes and road accident statistics will get repeat offenders to change their ways.

The cards are sent to drivers with five or more driving offences recorded during the year, mostly for speeding or driving under the influence.
