Cumbria Police has announced the results of its drink driving initiative

Cumbria Police has announced the results of its drink driving initiative and reiterated its message by again releasing the video that shows Dominic Loftus' family dealing with their son's death due to a drink driver.

In December 2014, the force carried out 2907 breath tests which resulted in 64 people either failing or refusing a test.

Of the 64 tests in 2014 which were either failed or refused, 15 followed a road traffic collision.

In December 2015 the force administered 623 tests with 26 tests being either positive or refused in the county.

Out of these positive or refused tests, 12 of them were administered following a collision.

Out of those 26 positive/refused tests 23 were males and 3 were female. The number of tests undertaken by the police are lower than the previous year due to the severe weather suffered throughout the month of December.

Less drivers were on the roads and with our officers supporting the flood crisis we adopted a more targeted approach to catching offenders.
