Over 100 Wiltshire drivers reported for drink and drug driving
A Christmas Drink Drive campaign ran throughout December
A total of 112 drivers in Wiltshire were stopped by officers suspected of drink or drug driving in December.
Wiltshire Police Roads Policing Unit carried out their annual Christmas Drink Drive campaign throughout the month.
46 drivers were reported for drink driving and 59 for drug driving.
Eleven of those drivers came to police attention after being involved in road traffic collisions.
Three drivers failed to provide a sample when requested and four drivers were reported for driving whilst unfit.
Acting Inspector Will Ayres said:
“The team have been working extremely hard over the past few weeks to keep the roads within our county as safe as possible, targeting those who take risks and drink drive.
“We hope these figures send a reassuring message to law abiding drivers that we are fully dedicated to dealing with those who commit an offence, putting the lives of other road users, as well as their own, at risk.”
