Latvian police reported a significant number of severely intoxicated drivers were apprehended on roads in the Vidzeme region over the past weekend. The cases suggest limited progress in curbing the country’s persistent drink-driving problem. Regional newspaper *Ziemeļlatvija* highlighted two particularly egregious incidents among numerous others. Details of the specific cases were not provided in the report, but authorities indicate the blood alcohol content levels were exceptionally high. These arrests underscore ongoing concerns about road safety and enforcement efforts. Police are continuing patrols and investigations relating to impaired driving across the country. The incidents raise questions about the effectiveness of current deterrents and the need for further intervention.
