A drink driver had five open cans of Stella Artois lager in his car when he was caught more than three times the legal limit.
Police were called by a concerned member of the public on 14 December to report a man sitting in a grey Volkswagen Passat drinking a can of beer while parked in Cottenham High Street.
An officer was dispatched and caught up with the driver, 33-year-old Kirils Sidorovs, as he arrived at his home in King Street, Rampton.
Sidorovs provided a roadside breath test of 114 microgrammes, more than three times the legal limit of 35 microgrammes per 100 millilitres of breath.
In custody he provided an evidential sample of 90.
At Cambridge Magistrates’ Court on Thursday (16 January), Sidorovs pleaded guilty to drink driving and was disqualified from driving for 23 months. He was also fined £507
PC Rob Tindall, who investigated, said: “Thanks to an observant member of the public, this man was stopped from putting any more lives at risk with his drink driving and now has 23 months to consider his actions.
