EIGHT more people have been charged with drink driving offences as part of Dorset Police’s summer drink driving campaign.
They are due to appear before the courts in Poole and Weymouth in June and July.
In total, 15 people have been charged since the campaign started on Friday, June 1.
The campaign will run until Monday, July 16, to coincide with the World Cup.
Throughout the operation officers will be requesting breath tests from all drivers involved in road traffic collisions, irrespective of whether or not they suspect a drink driving offence.
Motorists can also expect to be tested during routine stop checks and if they are stopped for any other driving offence.
As in previous campaigns, anyone charged with a drink driving related offence during the campaign will have their name and court appearance details released to the media.
Anyone who suspects someone of drink driving should call the police immediately on 999 with the vehicle registration number and direction of travel.
