Vizag Police to launch special drunken drive tests

Visakhapatnam, Dec 30: The Visakhapatnam city traffic police will conduct special drunken drive tests throughout the city from 8 pm on December 31 to 5 am on the next morning.

More than 50 static, mobile and decoy teams will be ready and video recording of the complete checking would be done through body-worn cameras, police said.

All vehicles caught in drunken driving checks will be seized or detained on the spot and drivers will be produced before the court. This year more than 450 persons were imprisoned–ranging from one to 15 days for drunken driving.

Also, police recommended to RTA for suspension of 6,265 driving licences of the drunken drivers and rash drivers.

Police linked the drunken drivers' data to job verification/visa and passport, insurance etc., along with their aadhar details and urged all new year party revelers to refrain from drunken driving.
