Drunk drivers stun police
By Perry Lam,WNS Malcom Correspondent
MALCOM - Traffic specialists have been left stunned at the audacity of two drunken drivers nabbed in a Malcom blitz this weekend. They each blew readings in excess of 1000 micrograms - well over twice legal alcohol limit. Each was processed and then picked up for a second time within a hour of first being caught.
Road Policing Manager Inspector says the police are powerless in most cases to detain such drivers. He says drunken drivers are processed on the spot, issued with a court summons, and have their keys taken off them. He adds these people obviously had a spare set of keys and attempted to drive a second time. During the blitz 10 cars were impounded, 34 licences were suspended and 135 drivers were detected with excess breath alcohol, the highest figures since 2003.
