Seventeen people were caught drink-driving in Tayside during a two-week national clampdown.
One motorist in the region was also found to be unfit to drive through drugs. The campaign was co-ordinated by the Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland (ACPOS) and ended on Monday.
In Fife five people were caught driving under the influence of alcohol and a further motorist was described as unfit to drive through alcohol.
One female driver who was travelling with two young children in her vehicle was more than twice the legal alcohol limit. The woman, in her 30s, was breathalysed after being involved in a minor collision in Crossford, near Dunfermline. Officers on a routine patrol came across the incident.
Strathclyde had the highest number of drink-drivers at 53. In addition two were deemed unfit to drive because of alcohol and two were unfit to drive through drugs.
A total of 238 people were reported for drink-driving over the two weeks an increase of 26 compared with last year’s campaign. Eight repeat offenders were detected and they face having their vehicles seized.
Fife Constabulary Assistant Chief Constable Tom Ewing is road policing business area secretary for ACPOS. He said, “Driving whilst under the influence of alcohol or drugs is completely unacceptable. Those who do it are not only risking their own lives but are completely disregarding the safety of their passengers and other road users.
“We will continue to patrol the roads day and night and, if you get behind the wheel when you shouldn’t, we will catch you.”
