We arrested 58 drivers for drink or drug driving in December as part of Op Limit, the national crackdown aimed at improving road safety and disrupting wider criminal activity.

We are cracking down on drink and drug driving this festive season to target those who put innocent lives at risk on our roads.

As Christmas party season reaches its peak, we are asking those out celebrating to make sure the only ‘jingle bells’ you hear this December belong to Santa’s sleigh—not the sirens of a police car.

Victoria’s life changed forever on a summer night in June 2024. Her 18-year-old daughter, Amelia, was out celebrating finishing her A-levels with friends. Hours later, Victoria was standing in a hospital, praying her daughter would survive a brain injury caused by a drink driver.

Uninsured drivers put lives at risk. Every week, at least one person is killed by an uninsured driver. Many are linked to other criminal activity. They also push up the cost of insurance for everyone.

Is your car insurance valid? Is the question our officers will be asking drivers as they conduct additional checks on motorists 10-16 November.

You are warmly invited to join us at a special service to remember those killed or injured in road traffic collisions in Warwickshire.

If you’re a driver, did you know that you have more responsibility to help keep pedestrians safe on our roads? It’s called the ‘hierarchy of road users’ in the highway code.

This is the question our officers will be asking drivers they stop during a national eyesight campaign starting this week.
