Police in Fermanagh and Omagh arrested or charged 16 drivers for road traffic offences over the weekend.

The offences included five cases of drink-driving, two of driving while unfit through drugs, three of driving without insurance, and two incidents where motorists failed to stop, remain and report at the scene of a collision.

Officers also dealt with two obstruction offences, one case of taking and driving away, and one instance of fraudulent use of a registration mark.

The PSNI said the number of offences was "staggering" and expressed concern at the number of motorists continuing to drive while unfit. The force warned that such actions put the lives of the drivers and others at risk.

A police statement said a small number of people were disregarding the law and continuing to put lives at risk. It urged motorists to consider the consequences, including the potential to take a life, a permanent criminal record, mandatory disqualification, and the loss of employment and independence.

With Christmas approaching, police renewed their appeal for drivers to think twice before getting behind the wheel while unfit, stating that it is "simply not worth it".

The PSNI said it would continue to take a robust approach to road safety and promote the Fatal Five message.
