There's been an increase in the number of people caught drink driving in the Thames Valley.
2,306 drivers were breathalysed during a summer crackdown in June and 232 drivers provided positive results.
Last year, 2,721 drivers were breathalysed and 190 drivers provided positive breath tests.
Chief Inspector Gill Wootton, Deputy Head of Roads Policing, said: "I am disappointed to see that the results for this year's summer campaign have shown an increase in the numbers of drink drivers being detected by our officers.
"The last few campaigns that we have been involved in have shown a steady downward trend in offending, which appears on the face of it to have been reversed this year.
"It is clear that there are some people who simply are not getting the message about drink-driving and do not understand just how dangerous it is to drive after consuming alcohol. They are prepared to risk the lives of themselves, their loved ones and other road users by getting behind the wheel while unfit to drive, either by drink, drugs or indeed a combination of the two.
"Every year people are dying and getting injured unnecessarily, because of the poor decision making of individuals who will not heed what is very simple advice. We will continue to target and pursue these people robustly in order to make the roads of Thames Valley a safer place for our communities."
Chief Inspector Wootton added: "It is not difficult to avoid drink driving: take a taxi, stay at a friend's house, nominate a designated driver or just don't drink. Don't be selfish - think of the effects on those close to you if you don't come home or indeed if you kill or injure someone else because of such poor decision making. No one wants to have one of my officers knocking at their door to tell them they have lost someone they care about.
"I would urge anyone who sees someone getting into a vehicle after drinking to call police on 999 immediately. If you have information about suspected drink drivers, call the Police Enquiry Centre on 0845 8 505 505 or, if you don't want to speak to police, call the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
