Sergeant David Aitkin at Mudgee Police Station described the behaviour of the motorists as "foolish" and reminded drivers of the continued effort from police to target drink and drug drivers.

"The dangers of drink driving are well-known. There is no excuse for putting yourself and the community at risk," Sergeant Aitkin said.

"As with the six people caught on the weekend, if you make the foolish choice to drink and drive you can expect to cop a heavy penalty and you will lose your licence. It's a no-brainer, surely.

"You can expect to continue seeing police out and about on our roads targeting alcohol and drug driving."
