268 drivers were stopped and had to take a breath test. 258 blew negative. 10 people or 3.7 percent of the drivers checked had drunk too much. Two drivers’ driver’s licenses were immediately revoked for 15 days due to high alcohol intoxication.
The Vlas police zone points out once again that driving and drinking do not go together. The police recommend that you always make the necessary arrangements in advance for a night out. You can indicate a BOB or drive home by public transport or a taxi. “Make sure that your Saturday evening and night is not only festive but also safe,” says the police.
The checkpoint was set up along the Winkelsestraat in Lendelede, the Vijverhoek in Kuurne and Marksesteenweg in Kortrijk.
