Bucks police arrest seven drivers for drink and drug offences
Between the Roads Policing Unit and local policing teams, six drink drivers and one drug driver were caught in a three-hour period.
Two of the drink drivers had been involved in "serious collisions," police said.
A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police said: "Clearly something was in the air tonight in Milton Keynes.
"Between RPU officers and our local policing colleagues from TVP Milton Keynes, we arrested six drink drivers and one drug driver in the space of around three hours.
"Two of the drink drivers had been involved in serious collisions, where it is only by pure luck that they did not manage to kill themselves or innocent members of the public.
"There is no excuse for it - if you are going to have a drink, make sure you have alternate plans to get home."
