An ice cream man was arrested for being more twice over the drink drive limit after he was stopped for driving without a seatbelt.
The ice cream van driver was stopped in Devizes, Wiltshire before being breathalysed on the roadside.
The roadside breath test revealed the van driver had 90mcg of alcohol per 100ml of breath – a rate that is more than twice the UK’s current limit.
UK laws make it illegal for drivers to be in control of a vehicle with more than 35mcg of alcohol per 100ml of breath.
Wiltshire Police later took the ice cream man into custody before joking about the incident on Twitter.
