Surrey Police’s Christmas crackdown resulted in a total of 174 people being arrested on suspicion of drink and drug driving.

73 of those were on suspicion of drink-driving, 82 on suspicion of drug-driving, 1 for both and 18 for failure to provide a specimen.  

Chief Inspector Michael Hodder called the statistics “disheartening” and said it’s the “stubborn minority” putting people’s lives at risk.

Driving under the influence could result in a prison sentence, an unlimited fine, trouble travelling abroad, or a fatality.
