“We’ve sent out several warnings but despite this drivers have still been breaking the law. We’ve arrested more than 150 people since the beginning of this year. Being arrested for drunk driving is not a misdemeanour, it is a serious crime and a preventable choice.
“We have a zero tolerance approach for drunken driving, so appeals for leniency because some people view this as a ‘lesser crime’ are ridiculous. We will continue to host roadblocks to try to ensure safety on our roads,” Deokaran said.
