WORRYING figures have revealed 195 drivers were stopped for drink or drug driving offences in just two weeks.

Police Scotland's latest campaign saw 4,500 people tested from June 29 until July 13.

Of the 195 found over the limit, 10 of these drivers were caught the morning after, and 17 drivers were between the old and new limit.

Eight drivers were found to have previous convictions for drink/drug driving and may now face having the court order the forfeiture of their car.

Officers in Ayrshire stopped a vehicle and found the driver was over the limit, disqualified for a previous drink driving offence, had no insurance and was found in possession of controlled drugs.

Chief Superintendent Stewart Carle, Head of Road Policing for Police Scotland, said: "The high number of drivers detected remains a great concern - one person over the limit is one too many.

"Drink/drug drivers are making very bad decisions, putting themselves, their passengers and other road users at grave risk when the options of abstinence or alternative travel arrangements are always available .

"These results, particularly those drivers caught 'the morning after' highlight that the physical effects of alcohol take time to wear off.

"A conviction for drink/drug driving and loss of licence can have serious consequences for a driver's working and personal lives.

"A conviction for causing death by careless driving whilst under the influence of drink/drugs will change lives forever. Don't risk it, it's not worth it."

Last year's campaign was across two separate weeks, one in May and one in August so the figures are not comparable but are provided below.

Of the 7405 people tested, 234 were found to be over the limit.
