Former Australia cricket batter David Warner was handed a fine for drunk driving. Police stopped him. He tried to switch seats before a random breath test. In a separate road incident, video footage showed a drunk driver swerving across highway lanes at 70mph.

Drink problems also triggered action in towns and transport systems. Police officers in Gloucester received additional authority after alcohol-fueled brawls in the city center. Fights caused serious problems. At the same time, transport group SPOT rolled out safe travel options to stop people from drunk driving.
