NEW figures released by West Mercia Police show 121 people either refused to give a breath test or tested positive over June 2017.
The figures also show that in Warwickshire 43 people also failed the breath test.
This equates to around eight per cent of the total number breathalysed across June across the two force areas.
An additional 107 people in West Mercia and 13 people in Warwickshire also failed the new roadside drugs test as part of the campaign.
As well as enforcement activity the consequences of being caught driving under the influence were highlighted by police across social media and local radio advertising took place across the region.
Over the past three years, 122 people have been killed or seriously injured in West Mercia as a result of collisions involving drink or drugs with an additional 89 people killed or seriously injured in Warwickshire.
Chief Superintendent Steve Cullen said: “While the results indicate that the majority of motorists are using our roads responsibly, there are still irresponsible drivers out there who think they can risk drinking or taking drugs and driving, ignoring the devastating consequences that this can cause for them, their family, friends and other road users.
“I welcome that we now have both the testing ability and legislation in place to tackle those people who think it’s acceptable to drive under the influence of drugs and this will continue to form an important part of our policing in future campaigns.
“Enforcing the drink and drug drive law is a year round commitment for both forces, and we continue to work with our partners to reduce harm on the roads.”
