25 drink-drivers arrested.
25 drink-drivers were arrested in a five hour operation on 23 December, Thursday, morning. Road blocks were set up along Church Street, South Bridge Road, New Bridge Road and North Canal Road which is around drinking and entertainment areas. During the operation, 74 motorists aged 22 to 53 took the breathalyser test and 23 men and 2 women failed the test and were arrested for drink-driving. The highest breathalyser result was 90 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath. That was more than twice the prescribed legal limit of 35 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath.
It is important for the authorities to be more stringent in their operations during this festive season as many people will be out partying till late at night during Christmas and the New Year. When people drink, they should not drive as they may be reckless on the roads and might cause death. It is important not to drink and drive.Labels: Shermin
