Drink Driving sees a summer increase.
Most people are surprised to learn that the amount of Drink Driving which takes place is not at its highest in the winter months around Christmas but in fact occurs in the summer months.
Welsh statistics, from the Gwent area, show that collisions and casualties as a result of drink driving peak between May and September. April 2007 to March 2010 statistics for Gwent police force area show that 62% of casualties in drink drive collisions occur in the summer months (April to September) with only 38% in the winter months (October to March).
