The driver told police he’d ‘only had one’ beer.
Beer cans were found in a car stopped by police in a Cambridgeshire village. Cambridgeshire Police stopped a driver on Sunday (February 15) after officers saw some “questionable driving”.
When officers stopped the driver, they found several beer cans in the car. The driver carried out a roadside breath test and blew 104, nearly three times the legal limit of 35. The man was arrested and is due to appear in court next month.
A police spokesperson said: “A vehicle caught the attention of our officers in Eaton Socon after some questionable driving around an industrial estate. When the driver was stopped, officers spotted several beer cans inside the car.
“He insisted he’d “only had one” — but the roadside breath test told a different story. He blew 104 (the legal limit is 35).
“The man was arrested at the scene and now has a date with HM Courts next month. We’ll continue to take drink driving seriously to keep our roads safe. If you suspect someone is driving under the influence, please report it.”
