JUST DON’T – A driver was spoken to this evening, thanks to a member of the public (thank you Mr J), after he had been seen swerving in the road and coming to a stop having run his car into a kerb. Officers arrived and sure enough he failed the roadside breath test, additional enquiries showed that there was no insurance in place for him against the vehicle. The question was also raised as to whether the registered keeper, who was not the driver, was aware that he had the car, it turned out he was not. The driver is currently being booked into Portsmouth Custody Centre where he will take a substantive test for court and will be interviewed once he has sobered up. 

Needless to say DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE, but unfortunately people still do.

It’s a been a busy day with lots of jobs coming in, some of them quite complex, but as usual with the Control Room, Neighbourhoods and Response Teams working together we will soon be going home so we can come back in and do it all again tomorrow.
