Police officers from Chudleigh and Ashburton have carried out a road safety operation to cut down on dangerous driving.
During the four hour operation, 140 motorists were stopped at locations in Bovey Tracey, Heathfield and Chudleigh, for committing road traffic offences.
Motorists were stopped for exceeding speed limits, having faulty lights, defective tyres and driving dangerously. Twenty roadside breath tests were carried out, with one showing positive.
PC Richard Juniper said "The majority of those motorists stopped were receptive to the advice given. It is hoped that the message of 'don't drink and drive has been reinforced".
Due to the success of the operation, more are planned for the future.
