One woman was arrested for drink-driving and child neglect after being found nearly twice the legal limit, speeding through roadworks on the M55 with a 10-month-old baby in the car.
In Preston, a man broke down in London Road and when tested, was also nearly double the drink-drive limit, with a bottle of Southern Comfort found next to the gear stick.
In Accrington, a van driver was the first person pulled into a check point, and was arrested after failing a breath test.
In the run up to Christmas and during the World Cup, police are keen to remind people to be aware of how much they are drinking, and that they can still be over the limit the day after.
