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

Drink problems also sparked action in towns and transport systems. Police officers in Gloucester got extra powers after alcohol-fueled brawls in the city center. Fights caused serious problems. At the same time, transport group SPOT set up safe travel options to stop people from drunk driving.
