A spokesman for TVP Road Policing department said: “This used to be a VW Golf. As if the driver’s night wasn't bad enough, then came P0185 and P7223 and arrested the driver for drink driving after they blew 82ug.

"This is what over double the drink drive limit does to your driving. #itsnotworththerisk.”

The second photo shows police arresting a motorist who was driving down the wrong side of a city road in the early hours of New Year’s Day morning.

The spokesman said: “This one was stopped in the early hours of this morning in Milton Keynes after it drove past officers looking a bit battered. The driver was stopped having driven down the road on the wrong side of the road.

“The driver has been charged and faces a court date in the next couple of weeks where he will lose his driving licence and the roads will be slightly safer without him.

"The driver’s partner also in the car did not see the problem and stated ‘He’s not that drunk’. We tried to educate her on this attitude but you just cannot tell some people.”
