Drink Driving campaign


NPCC National Drink and Drug Drive Operation 2024.

01st Dec 2024 to 01st January 2025.

Over the past three years across our three counties of West Mercia there have been 25 fatalities and 167 serious injuries on the roads where alcohol has been a contributory factor. An additional 11 fatalities and 68 serious injuries have occurred involving drugs. Whilst the vast majority of drivers do the right thing, across the three counties we arrested 266 people during December 2023 for being over the limit whilst behind the wheel.
Reducing the harm caused on our roads is a key commitment for West Mercia Police. In support of this throughout December we are taking part in Operation Limit 3, a month long national operation targeting those motorists that still think it’s acceptable to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs
