POLICE arrested 241 motorists for drink or drug driving during a festive road safety campaign.
The arrests across the Avon and Somerset force area were part of Operation Limit, a national police drive to reduce fatal and serious road collisions during December.
Most were made at roadside check sites, during proactive traffic patrols and using intelligence reported by members of the public.
One arrest took place at the scene of a collision in Pucklechurch on December 14, in which a car containing five people collided with a telegraph pole.
None of the occupants were seriously injured but a 17-year-old boy arrested at the scene was later charged with drink-driving, driving without a licence and with no insurance.
He was due to appear in court by the end of January.
Police say drink-driving accounted for 62% of arrests, with drug-driving making up 38%.
Drivers aged from 25 to 34 made up 32% of arrests, 35 to 44-year-olds accounted for 24% and under-25s 20%, with 88.4% of those arrested were male.
In South Gloucestershire 46 drivers were arrested, with 66 in Bristol, 14 in B&NES, 36 in North Somerset and 80 in Somerset.
