Over 300 drink and drug driving offences have so far been detected during Kent Police’s annual Christmas enforcement campaign.
Stop checks and roadside testing have been taking place throughout December as part of Operation Limit, an initiative which aims to reduce the number of people killed and seriously injured.
Between 1 and 29 December there were a total of 301 offences resulting in arrests, including 104 for drink driving, 80 for drug driving, 85 for being unfit to drive due to drink or drugs, and 32 for failing to provide a specimen for testing.
Ch Insp Craig West, head of roads policing, said: “There are still far too many people who are putting themselves and other road users at risk of harm, and they have been arrested and will be brought before the courts.”
