GREATER Manchester Police chiefs say the majority of drivers heeded their festive 'don't drink and drive' campaign.
Figures show that during the month-long initiative 7,132 breath tests were administered, of which 365 were positive, refused or failed. There were 712 injury-related collisions, of which 78 drivers (11 per cent) tested positive.
Chief Inspector Haydn Roberts, of the force's traffic planning unit, said: "These figures show the majority of drivers in Greater Manchester act responsibly."
