‘Shocked’ cops stop motorist driving more than three times over limit – with NO FRONT TYRE

Shocked police arrested a motorist driving more than three times over the limit – with no front TYRE.

The driver was stopped on a dual carriageway near Wymondham, Norfolk, on Saturday (26/1) after officers received reports of his erratic driving.

The Norfolk and Suffolk Roads and Armed Policing Team posted a picture of the vehicle on social media, which shows the missing wheel.

They also posted an image of the breathalyser test, which gave a reading of 126ugs – three-and-a-half times the legal limit.

Officers tweeted: “Central team have stopped a vehicle after a call reporting erratic driving [on the] #A11 Wymondham.

“They were shocked to find a car being driven with no front tyre.”

The motorist was arrested on suspicion of drink driving.

Sgt Chris Harris tweeted: “It’s the shocking reality of what we have to deal with.”
