Former Australia cricket batter David Warner was handed a fine for drunk driving. Police stopped him. He tried to switch seats before taking a random breath test. In a separate road incident, video footage revealed a drunk driver swerving across highway lanes at 70mph.

Drink problems also led to action in towns and transport systems. Police officers in Gloucester received additional authority after alcohol-fueled brawls in the city center. Fights brought trouble. Meanwhile, transport group SPOT rolled out safe ride choices to stop people from drunk driving.
