Experts said a hard core of drink drivers had not responded to efforts to make it socially unacceptable leading to a stalling in the number of people killed on the roads.
John Scruby, former police traffic officer and campaigner against drinking and driving, said that a certain type of offender would continue to drink and drive unless the law was better enforced.
"With the education that we do, they're aware that drink driving is something they shouldn't be doing," he said.
"It's the same with mobile phones or anything - certain people think they've become immune to it, but they haven't."
Christmas is a peak time for drink-drive offences. Last week police revealed that during last year's crackdown they stopped more than 100,000 vehicles, with 5,698 breath tests that were positive, failed or refused.
