28 people have been arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol.
Minister of community safety Albert Fritz says the highest alcohol reading was 1.67mg, significantly up from last week’s 1.11mg.
“Speed is a major contributing factor to the countless accidents on our roads, and was intensely monitored across the province, resulting in 3341 speeding cases being recorded.
“The highest speed was 195km/h in a 120km/h zone. This behaviour puts every other road user’s life in danger and I want to see the most severe punishment handed down in this regard, said Fritz.
Fritz added that they will continue to act without fear or favour, until we have total cooperation from all road users.
“With school holidays just around the corner, I am appealing to the public to drive responsibly,” said Fritz.
