One hundred and fifty persons were tested for Breath alcohol levels during a Road Traffic Exercise conducted by officers of the Highway Patrol Road Policing Task Force on the Eastbound lane on the Churchill Roosevelt Highway, El Socorro, early this morning.

Between 1:30 am and 5:00 am, 150 drivers were tested for Breath alcohol and five were found to be over the prescribed limit. They were subsequently arrested and charged for driving a vehicle with a breath alcohol level exceeding the prescribed legal limit and are due in court today.

During the same exercise, two fixed penalty tickets were issued for driving without headlights.
