A car stopped by police in Harrogate Picture: Sgt Paul Cording
A DRIVER was arrested after a roadside breath test showed they were nearly twice the legal limit.
North Yorkshire Police say they have been taking part in UN Global Road Safety Week, stopping a number drivers who were dealt with for traffic offences with vehicles seized for no insurance or tax across the force area.
Sgt Paul Cording said he stopped a driver in Harrogate yesterday (May 19) for suspected drink driving.
He said on Twitter: "Apologies if you were caught up in Harrogate earlier, but following reports that the driver of this vehicle had been drinking we had to safely bring it to a stop. The driver provided a roadside breath test nearly twice the legal limit #Arrested."
