More arrests have been made as part of a police operation to crack down on dangers on the road.
Operation Spotlight is a month-long campaign, focusing on the Fatal Four behaviours on the road.
Speeding, using a mobile phone at the wheel, not wearing a seatbelt and driving under the influence of drink and/or drugs make up the Fatal Four.
Officers are carrying out enforcement activity, plus engagement and educational work aimed at raising awareness of them.
