Although the police had previously warned about increased checks on Latvian roads during the holiday period, a significant number of drivers under the influence of alcohol were detained on Ligo Day.

According to reports, despite stepped-up patrols and warnings about consequences, many drivers still chose to get behind the wheel after drinking. Police detained dozens of such offenders.

Such behavior poses serious threats to road safety, especially during holidays when many people are on the roads. The police continue to emphasize that control measures will continue over the remaining holidays.
