Original release

A man has been arrested for failing to provide a specimen of breath.

We received reports of a car being driven erratically on the A1 near Grantham yesterday (30 June) just before 12pm.

Officers from the Roads Policing Unit located the car at Gonerby Moor Services and arrested a 38-year-old man for failing to provide a roadside breath test. He remains in police custody.

The man was taken to custody where he later provided readings of 209 and 203 - nearly six times over the legal alcohol limit. The legal limit is 35 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath. 

We launched our summer road safety campaign on Friday which will spell out the dangers of the #Fatal5 behaviours including drink/drug driving.

On average, 1,899 people are killed or seriously injured as a result of drink or drug driving, each year in the UK. That’s why we won’t tolerate it on our roads.
Actions have consequences. #OperationSpotlight #Fatal5
