Moreton North Highway Patrol Officer in Charge Senior Sergeant Mal Lilley said these are serious offences.
"As one of the Fatal Five, drink and drug driving is a proven contributor to serious and fatal traffic crashes," Senior Sergeant Lilley said.
"It is extremely dangerous to get behind the wheel while you're impaired by an intoxicating substance which impacts your ability to judge distance and speed, reduces your co-ordination and concentration, and distorts your perception of time, place and space.
"Never drive a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol for the sake of your life, and those around you."
The Queensland Police Service is committed to reducing the number of lives lost on our roads.
Data shows that serious crashes can be significantly reduced when drivers recognise and avoid the 'Fatal Five' behaviours: speeding, drink and drug driving, not wearing seatbelts, fatigue and distraction.
