Police in Leicestershire have caught 47 people driving whilst under the influence of drink or drugs since the start of a seasonal crackdown.
In the first nine days of the campaign, a total of 303 motorists were stopped and breathalysed by officers.
Leicestershire Police's Christmas Drink Drive Campaign began on 1 December and will end on 1 January.
Drivers found over the legal limit face the prospect of losing their licence for a minimum of one year.
Leicestershire Constabulary's road safety officer John Budulis said: "It is disappointing that 47 drivers have ignored our warnings and are willing to risk their own and other people's lives by drinking and driving.
