    Police in Avon and Somerset are stepping up their efforts to combat impaired driving, especially during the holiday season. With thirty-two fatal collisions this year, a quarter of which involved drink or drugs, theyve launched their annual Christmas campaign. In just the first week, sixty-two arrests were made, a significant increase from last year. Inspector Matt Boiles emphasized the human cost, noting that impaired drivers pose a serious threat due to slower reaction times, poorer judgment, and reduced coordination. A recent day of action in Sedgemoor resulted in thirty-eight speeding tickets and two drivers being sent to court for exceeding the speed limit.
