Victoria Police is issuing a zero-tolerance warning as new analysis reveals December is the worst month for drink driving on our roads.
Over the past three years, a total 2591 drink driving detections were recorded in December.
This is 20 per cent higher than November when 2154 motorists were caught over the limit in the three years analysed.
December also posted the highest number of collisions where the driver was over the blood alcohol limit, with 321 recorded for the month across the three-year period.
It is 18 per cent higher compared with November, which had 272 collisions where the driver was over the limit during the three-year period.
Victoria Police is warning it will this month have an increased focus on alcohol and drug testing to address the concerning behaviour.
Motorists should expect to be tested anywhere, any time.
Assistant Commissioner Glenn Weir, Road Policing Command says “Our message is clear – drinking and driving don’t mix.”
“You will be tested, and you will be caught. So why risk it?”
