A man drove into a wall, flipping his car onto its side, while more than double the drink drive limit.
Luke Mills, 44, was arrested after crashing his silver Honda Jazz in Peakirk Road, Glinton, near Peterborough, at 9.40pm on 7 September.
He was charged with drink driving after a breath test gave a result of 93 in custody – the legal limit being 35.
Mills, of Eyebury Road, Eye, Peterborough, was disqualified from driving for two years and four months, required to complete a 15-day rehabilitation activity requirement and pay a fine of £140 after admitting the offence at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court on Friday (27 September).
PC Nick Southern, the force’s casualty reduction officer, said: “Mills was aware of the dangers of driving while intoxicated, immediately admitting to officers that he was drunk.
“There is no excuse when it comes to driving while under the influence of drink or drugs, and I urge anyone who is intoxicated to arrange an alternative mode of transport.”
The force operates a dedicated, confidential hotline – 0800 032 0845 – which is available 24/7 and provides the public with the chance to provide information about anyone they think may be driving under the influence.
Information about drink driving, the law and the penalties, can be found on the force’s dedicated road safety information webpages.
