Cheshire police found that one in four motorists stopped over the Christmas period were drink driving - something that could affect the cost of premiums for those with car insurance for women.
Despite having a drink and drug drive campaign, police saw an increase of nearly eight per cent in the number of people who proved positive for drink-driving. It has also been revealed that 16 per cent of those motorists were impaired by drugs.
A police official said: "These findings demonstrate many motorists are choosing to ignore the seriousness of their actions when they take the decision to drink drive or drug drive.
"The effects from drinking alcohol or taking drugs can considerably change a person's ability to drive safety."
Any driver found to be driving under the influence could easily be risking their cheap car insurance and car insurance for women customers could find that they no longer get such affordable premiums.

*A replacement car can normally be arranged under one of the following conditions: (1) Comprehensive policyholders – a replacement car may be available under the terms of your insurance policy. Please check your policy details for more information. (2) Non fault accident – where we have the name, car registration number and insurance details of the person who caused the accident, we can supply a replacement car. This is done on a credit hire basis which means the costs for this service will be passed onto the insurance company of the person who caused the accident. We may not be able to arrange a replacement car where we are unable to get an admission of liability from their insurance company, or where the driver is untraceable or uninsured. (3) Repair garage – if your car is booked in for repairs following an accident, the repair garage may be able to provide a replacement car (subject to availability).
