Kent Police report that more than 100 arrests have been made so far as part of their ongoing drink and drug driving enforcement campaign.
Driving under the influence of drink or drugs is one of the ‘fatal factors’ that put vehicle owners most at risk along with speeding, being distracted at the wheel, for example by a mobile phone and not wearing a seatbelt.
Kent Police is supporting a national initiative between 1 December 2024 and 1 January 2025 aimed at raising awareness of the dangers and reducing the number of people killed and seriously injured in road traffic collisions.A total of 107 arrestable offences were committed up to and including Wednesday 11 December for incidents relating to drink and drug driving, including refusing to provide a sample for analysis.
