Drink and drug drivers, some with no insurance or licence

The newly formed No Excuses team recorded 168 offences last month. 

They made 15 arrests, 6 positive drug swipes, 5 positive breath tests, 45 vehicles were seized for having no insurance and 7 because the driver didn't have a licence. 

They are working to enforce & educate about the fatal five driving behaviours: They are:

  1. Inappropriate or excessive speed
  2. Not wearing a seat belt
  3. Driver distractions including using mobile devices such as phones, 'sat navs' and tablets
  4. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
