VIDEO footage shows the moment a drink driver was stopped by police while almost four times over the limit.

Lynette Corr was stopped in Brighton Road in Lancing in June this year, with her son in the car.

The 48-year-old was stopped by police, and in the footage she asks “was I speeding?”

In reply the officers tell her: “No, you were swerving all over the road.”

She was driving in her Vauxhall, and was asked to step out to the side of the road during a summer crackdown.

In the footage officers ask her if she has had anything to drink or smoke, which she denies, telling them she is “just not well”.

But when asked to provide a breath sample, she was so drunk that she tried to suck the breathalyser rather than blow into it.

Her initial reading shows her as having 117 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath, when the legal limit is 35 microgrammes.

Later a test reading gave back a sample of 133 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath, nearly four times more than the drink-drive limit.

Corr, of Widewater Close in Lancing, has been banned from driving.

Police say they didn’t want to release her name for “operational reasons”, but The Argus can reveal that she appeared at Worthing Magistrates’ Court on Friday, July 6.

Arresting officer, PC Tom Bezants of the Worthing Divisional Response Team, said: “It was quite clear from the manner of her driving that the woman had consumed a number of drinks.

“This was also evident in her demeanour at the roadside, where she initially failed to follow simple instructions.“By driving while heavily under the influence of alcohol, she risked her own life, the life of her son in the front passenger seat and also the lives of other innocent road users.

“Drink-driving is a serious offence and it won’t be tolerated on our roads in Sussex.

“While this was a dedicated month-long operation, we will continue to respond to reports of drink and drug-drivers 365 days a year.”

Police have warned drink drivers that they face at least a one-year ban, alongside unlimited fines and possibly even a prison sentence.

Drivers also face a hike in their insurance costs.

More than 100 arrests were made for drink driving during the summer crackdown.
