The June crackdown on drink-driving saw a higher (8%) proportion refusing or failing breath tests.Interestingly, there was a marked increase in the proportion of under 25-year-olds testing positive; up by 15%.
ACPO's Chief Constable Phil Gormley said the increase in percentage of positive drink-driving tests showed that the police were successfully targeting the offending drivers more effectively.
M23law has recently noticed an increase in clients accused of drink-driving offences.

A couple of things occur to me.
The emphasis of late seems to have been on other things such as mobile phone use and speeding. Is the anti-drink driving message in need of 'recycling' to younger people?
Is it a reflection on the availablity of very cheap alcohol?
