DYFED-Powys Police carried out over 2,500 drink and drug tests on motorists during a summer clamp down prosecuting nearly 100 motorists.

The All Wales Campaign ran from June 10 and July 10 and a total of 9,532 breath tests were administered across Wales with 306 of those being positive, refused or fail to provide.

199 roadside test for drugs were administered with 131 showing positive for drugs across the country.

Dyfed Powys Police administered 2,751 breath tests during the four week period of which 68 tests were positive, refused or failed to provide and 23 dug wipes with 11 being positive.

The offence of drinking alcohol or taking drugs and driving is one of the fatal 5, the five offences that can lead to death or serious injury on our roads. The others being careless driving, speeding, not wearing a seatbelt, and driving while on a mobile phone.

Pam Kelly, Dyfed Powys Police Assistant Chief Constable, said: "This campaign identified a significant number of motorists in Wales who continue to ignore this important legislation around drink and drug driving.

“If you drink or take drugs and drive you will potentially not only ruin your life, but the lives of others.

“There is absolutely no excuse for drinking or taking drugs and driving and the consequences can be devastating.”

“Although this was a month-long focused campaign, the drive to change attitudes, increase road safety and catch offenders will continue year round.

Chair of Road Safety Wales Susan Storch said: “We were clear in our messages throughout the campaign that drink or drug driving is not acceptable, and will not be tolerated.

“Those that selfishly break the law are endangering themselves and, more importantly, other road users.”

“Drink and drug driving ruins lives all year round and we will continue to work closely with the Police in reinforcing these messages”
