A drink driver is spending the day sobering up in the cells after a 5.40am stop by police found him three times over the limit.
The driver was spotted by police in Churchill Road, Wisbech.
A police spokesperson said the driver was “seen to be swerving in the road”. They pulled him over for a breathalyser test.
When they took a reading, police say he blew a “whopping 119 at the roadside – that's more than three times the legal limit of 35!”.
Police say the high reading “shocked” them.
The driver was arrested and police say the man “currently remains in custody”.
