Man arrested in Doncaster after picking up takeaway three times over drink drive limit

The man, who was driving a blue Volkswagen, was stopped by police on Ravensworth Road, Hyde Park, after he was seen to be struggling to drive in a straight line, say officers.

Sgt Steve Roberts said: “The reason for this immediately became clear, when he was spoken to. He was arrested on suspicion of driving whilst unfit through alcohol, and provide a sample just over three times the legal limit.”

He will be charged with the offence of drink driving when he is fit to be processed in the morning, he added.

Joanne Wehrle, manager of South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership, said earlier this year: “Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is illegal and significantly increases your chances of being involved in a collision. Think about your actions.”
