A SUSPECTED drink-driver faces possible prison time after police said he was found to be four times the legal limit.

Officers pulled the Bognor driver over yesterday evening and said they were found to be driving without insurance or a licence.

The driver also “blew a result of 149” – the micrograms of alcohol in 100 mils of breath – which exceeds the limit of 35.

Posting about the incident on Twitter, Sergeant Richard Hobbs on the Roads Policing Unit shared a picture a Sussex Police custodial cell.

He said: "This evening two of the team have arrested a drink-driver in Bognor who blew a result of 149.

"This is four times the limit.

"It got worse as they also didn't have insurance or a licence.

"They'll be off to court and could go to prison."

It is an offence to drive, attempt to drive, or be in charge of a motor vehicle on a road or public place if the level of alcohol in your breath, blood or urine exceeds the prescribed limit.

Speaking about possible penalties for drink-driving offences, the AA states: “It’s impossible to say exactly what a court may impose in a particular case – prison up to 14 years, an unlimited fine and disqualification for at least two years are all possible depending on the offence.

“A conviction for a drink driving offence will also affect the cost of your car insurance and may also mean that you’re prevented from travelling to some countries.”
