SUSSEX Police have released the names of 28 people who will be appearing in court on suspicion of drink driving.
The drivers are being named in the hope that it will act as a deterrent to stop people getting people behind the wheel when over the limit.
It is part of the police force's summer crackdown on drink and drug driving - called Operation Dragonfly.
A total of 76 people have now been charged this month as part of the operation.
Superintendent Jane Derrick, the head of the force's roads policing unit, said: "A large proportion of those who we are arresting are being found behind the wheel in the early hours of the morning.
"If you think you can get away with drink driving at 1am you should think again.
"Our officers are out on patrol looking for the slightest indication that you are unfit to be on the roads.
"You are not just putting your own life at risk, you are endangering everyone else using the roads."
