Western Cape Community Safety spokesperson Jo Lennox says over 2863 vehicles with 1487 drivers screened for being under suspicion of the offence.
“The highest breath alcohol reading was recorded in Mossel Bay, which was more than four times the legal limit.
“On the N2 near Duinefontein in the direction of Somerset West a man lost his life on Friday evening after losing control of his vehicle and last night, a male pedestrian lost his life on the N1 near Klapmuts, said Lennox.
