A further 12 people have been charged with drink-driving offences during Dorset Police’s summer drink driving campaign.
They are due to appear at courts in Poole and Weymouth in June and July. In total 27 people have been charged since the campaign begun.
The campaign runs from Friday 1 June to Monday 16 July to coincide with the World Cup.
Throughout the operation, officers will be requesting breath tests from all drivers involved in road traffic collisions, irrespective of whether or not they suspect a drink driving offence.
Motorists can also expect to be tested during routine stop checks and if they are stopped for any other driving offence.
As in previous campaigns, anyone charged with a drink-driving related offence during the campaign will have their name and court appearance details released to the media.
If you suspect someone of drink-driving, call police immediately on 999 with the vehicle registration number and direction of travel.
