Gardai in Letterkenny last night arrested a BANNED driver whom they found to be NINE times over the drink-driving limit.<\/p>\n
The driver was stopped by members of the Letterkenny Roads Policing Unit.<\/p>\n
Officers had just left the scene of another collision when they came across the drunk driver.<\/p>\n
The driver was stopped and failed a roadside breath test.<\/p>\n
Gardai later discovered the driver was already banned.<\/p>\n
Gardai say further breath testing showed that the driver was nine times over the legal limit.<\/p>\n
The car was seized and the owner must now apply to the Judge of the District Court to get it back, say Gardai.<\/p>\n
The driver was charged with drink-driving and will appear at a future sitting of the local courts.<\/p>\n
A Garda spokesperson said \u201cNever take unnecessary and dangerous risks where road safety is concerned. Never drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs\u2026ever.\u201d<\/p>\n
