50 drink-drivers lose licence each day during police blitz

Postby ddforum » January 10th, 2012, 1:43 pm

DRINK-DRIVERS have been banished from Victorian roads at a rate of almost 50 a day during a major police blitz.
Acting Chief Commissioner Kieran Walshe said he was disappointed 2610 people lost their licences for exceeding their alcohol limit during operation Summer Stay.

“The behaviour of each one of these drivers could have resulted in a tragedy,” Mr Walshe said.
More than 1.1 million people were breath-tested during Summer Stay, which ran for 52 days until midnight Sunday.
The highest number of drink-drivers was caught on the Mornington Peninsula, where 88 people lost their licences.
