Metro Police spokesperson Parboo Sewpersad says the problem is escalating. He says drastic measures need to be taken.

"During the course of the week have had more than 70 arrests from drunk driving in the city and just outside", he said.

"It is becoming a problem. People are still drinking and driving, whether it is a weekday or weekend. We will ask the National Prosecution Authority to hand down harsher sentences", Sewpersad said.
