Arrests included a 38-year-old man from Ramsgate who was reportedly seen falling asleep at the wheel in a drive-through restaurant car park in Broadstairs on the morning of Saturday 19 March; and a 29-year-old woman from Canterbury was arrested on suspicion of being unfit to drive through drink or drugs following a collision in the early hours of Sunday in Pin Hill, Canterbury. They have both been released pending further enquiries.

PC Dave Sansum, Kent Police’s Drink and Drug Driver Liaison Officer for east Kent, said: ‘Patrols are equipped with devices to test for alcohol and drugs and will routinely stop and check drivers as part of our commitment to keep road users safe. This weekend we arrested 12 people in relation to driving under the influence of either alcohol or drugs. It is concerning and I would urge people to remember that their actions have consequences.
‘All road users have a responsibility to keep the roads safe and by driving after drinking or taking drugs, you could end up injuring yourself or others and find yourself in court.’
