Simultaneous road blocks were set up along areas such as Upper Thomson Road, Kallang Road, Jurong West Ave 2 and Sengkang East Drive by 1am on Friday to target party revellers heading home towards the different directions. The breathalyser test was administered to 56 motorists. Five failed the test and were arrested for drink-driving. All five were men aged between 28 and 50 years old. The highest breathalyser result, clocked by a 49-year-old man, was 77 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath - this exceeds the prescribed legal limit of 35 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath. Another 44 people were also summoned for other traffic-related offences including speeding, beating the red traffic light and failing to wear seat belts.
