Driver caught at three alcohol checkpoints

During the recent weekend of increased activity relating to drinking and driving, one driver was stopped on three separate occasions and each time was over the limit.

At 21:30 on August 14th, police officers intercepted a passenger vehicle at km 409 on the A-4 (Madrid-Cádiz). The driver, a 33 year old man from Córdoba, tested positive for alcohol (0.46) and was duly denounced and fined.

At 01:50 on August 15th, Mr Tipsy was stopped at another control point on the A-4, at km 403, and this time tested positive with 0.62 per litre of breath. Another fine.

At around 04:45, Mr Tipsy was again stopped at a checkpoint on the A-431 between Córdoba and Lora  del Río. He was tested and this time scored 0.50 on the Breathalyser scale.

The three offences now mean he could face a fine of up to €1,500 and lose 14 points from his licence, meaning he will be banned from driving for a while.
