Over the past 24 hours, 13 vehicle drivers were stopped on Latvian roads for driving under the influence of alcohol. The figure comes from information compiled by the State Police, Latvia's national law enforcement body.
Ten of the 13 drivers were heavily intoxicated, so most of those caught were not just slightly over the limit.
The report does not say where the cases were recorded, what penalties were imposed or whether any road accidents occurred. That information was not provided, so it cannot be confirmed.
