Special emphasis was placed on offenses such as driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, exceeding the speed limit, not using seat belts, improper use of mobile phones, and driving without a valid license or under a ban.

Alcoholic Drivers
The highest blood alcohol concentrations were recorded for:
- A 45-year-old driver with 3.33 g/kg
- A 36-year-old female driver with 2.06 g/kg. In Velika Buna, the 36-year-old, driving under the influence of alcohol, caused a traffic accident with material damage. She drove off the road into a drainage ditch and hit a yard fence. After the accident, she left the scene without leaving information. The police found her, arrested her, and placed her in special rooms until the alcohol effects wore off. It was found that she was driving despite her driver's license being revoked due to accumulated negative points.
Out of 46 drivers caught under the influence of alcohol, 13 drivers (28.3%) had a blood alcohol concentration higher than 1.5 g/kg. Among them were eight young drivers (17.4%).
Five people were placed in special rooms until the alcohol effects wore off, and eight people were arrested and brought before the competent misdemeanor court.
