Balclutha police officers work a checkpoint in Essex St, at the northern end of Balclutha, yesterday morning.
Six staff were involved in the operation from 11.30am to 12.10pm, a police spokeswoman said. About 150 drivers were breath-tested but none were processed for drink-driving, the spokeswoman said.
Staff also focused on ensuring people were wearing seatbelts, and were not driving while distracted. No infringement notices were issued, and officers were very pleased with the driving behaviour seen, she said.
