Pub patrons breathalysed during police operation

AutoExec Summary
Police in Greater Western Sydney provided bar patrons with the opportunity to check their blood-alcohol concentration before driving, as part of Operation Enlighten. The program aims to help people understand the effects of alcohol on their ability to drive. A study by the NRMA found that more than one in 10 drivers in New South Wales admitted to driving over the legal blood-alcohol limit. The report also revealed that 17% of drivers in the state got behind the wheel when they were possibly over the limit. New South Wales recorded 351 road fatalities in 2023, with as many as one in five linked to alcohol consumption. NSW Minister for Police and Counter Terrorism Yasmin Catley emphasized the importance of everyone playing a role in keeping the roads safe.
