Drug-affected motorists again exceeded drink drivers, with five people caught above 0.05 at the weekend.
Of those caught, one person returned blood alcohol reading of 0.89 and tested positive to methamphetamine.
Another person refused to be breath tested by police, which Sergeant Cameron Roberts said brought the highest penalty for drink driving.
