Drink driving offences 429/2026
FOI Reference: 429/2026
Request:
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I am writing to request information relating to drink-driving offences.
For the purposes of this request, please include offences relating to driving or attempting to drive while over the legal alcohol limit, as well as being in charge of a vehicle while over the limit.
Q1. Daily breakdown
Please provide the total number of drink-driving offences recorded per day (by date) for the following periods:
20 November – 18 December 2022
14 June – 14 July 2024
Q2. Year-on-year comparison (same periods)
Please provide the total number of drink-driving offences recorded during the following date ranges (20 November – 18 December and 14 June – 14 July), for each of the years listed below:
2021
2022
2023
2024
2025
Q3. (Optional) Hourly breakdown
Where available, please provide a breakdown of drink-driving offences by hour of day (0–23) for the periods listed in Q1 only.
If providing this information would exceed the cost limit, please prioritise Q1 and Q2 and disregard this question.
Q4. (Optional) Drug-driving offences
Where readily available, please provide the total number of drug-driving offences (i.e. driving or being in charge of a vehicle while over the prescribed drug limit) for:
20 November – 18 December 2022
14 June – 14 July 2024
If readily available, please also provide totals for these same date ranges in the following years:
2021
2022
2023
2024
2025
Updated Request: Further to my request, I would be happy for the data requested to relate specifically to arrests connected to drink-driving and drug-driving, rather than recorded offence/crime data.
We are also happy for Q3 regarding hourly breakdowns to be disregarded where this would exceed cost limits.
Response 1:
I can confirm that Dyfed-Powys Police does hold the information requested, as outlined below.
