A 30-year-old mother, with two children among four passengers in her car, is among three-thousand drivers arrested countrywide for driving under the influence of alcohol over the Christmas period.

The Transport Department says she was arrested on Christmas Eve in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, where the most drunk drivers were caught.

No less than 280-thousand drivers have been fined for speeding this month. Preliminary reports show that 840 people have died in 654 fatal crashes so far.
