More than 3300 motorists have been fined across Queensland since Friday, including a 72-year-old man who was caught driving allegedly five times over the alcohol limit.
More than 11,000 random breath tests were conducted across the state with 68 drivers charged with drink driving, including a Burleigh Heads man, 72, who allegedly returned a Breath Alcohol Concentration of 0.257, more than five times the legal limit, at Burleigh Waters on Friday.
Road Policing Inspector Kieryn Dermody described the incident as a "horrendous" start to Queensland police's Festive Break phase, which began on Friday, as part of its state-wide Christmas Road Safety Campaign.
"That is horrendous, to be five times over the legal limit, you place your life and the lives around you in danger," she said.
"Thankfully that person was intercepted by police.
"It is a concern, it is a disappointment because our message has been consistent for a number of years, don't drink and drive."
Police also conducted 238 roadside drug tests on Friday, with 44 drivers returning a positive result.
Inspector Dermody said there would be an increase in roadside testing for alcohol and drugs during the festive season.
Police said the state's most "high-risk" speeding motorist during the Festive Break phase so far had been captured on a speed camera allegedly travelling 91 kilometres over a 100km/h speed limit on the Pacific Motorway at Gaven on Friday.
The driver was hit with a $1138 fine along with eight demerit points.
More than 3300 speeding fines have been issued since the Festive Break phase began, however Inspector Dermody said there was an indication that Queenslanders were slowing down.
"There have been some slight positive indications that Queensland motorists are slowing down, some of the infringement notices that we have issued today compared to this date last year have been less, so that is a positive indication that this message has been getting through," she said.
Extra police are expected to be rolled out across the Festive Break phase, which runs until January 3, 2017, to target the 'fatal five': speeding, drink and drug driving, distracted driving, fatigue and failure to wear a seatbelt.
16 people have died on Queensland roads since December 9, compared with five fatalities during the same period last year.
Queensland's road toll for 2016 is 243, seven more fatalities than this time last year.
