During the Traffic Focus initiative held last week, officers from the States police, honorary officers and staff from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Department checked 570 cars, trucks and vans.
Of the 124 vehicles, which were found to be defective, 12 were impounded and two were scrapped.
Meanwhile, 69 drivers were caught speeding, 24 were stopped for driving through red lights, three were caught using their phones, and four were found not wearing their seatbelt.
A 49-year-old man was arrested after allegedly driving while disqualified. Of the 80 people who were breathalysed, three – two men aged 27 and 36 and a 50-year-old woman – were all arrested for alleged drink-driving.
Seven drivers were dealt with for not complying with traffic signs, 12 were stopped for driving through car parks to bypass traffic, two had no licence or insurance, and 11 had failed to change their licence details.
