Northamptonshire Police has released further court results regarding those who were charged with drink driving as part of its annual winter campaign to tackle offending throughout the festive period.
Between December 1 and January 2, officers joined colleagues from across England and Wales for the National Police Chiefs’ Council’s month-long crackdown – Operation Limit – which aims to keep our roads safer over the festive period.
The main aim of the campaign is to educate road users on the consequences of driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, however anyone found to be over the limit will face the full force of the law.
As part of the four-week crackdown those caught driving over the legal limit will be publicly named on the Northamptonshire Police website and social media. This is a hard-line approach the Force has taken over recent years.
