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

Drink problems also sparked 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 keep people from drunk driving.
