This 43 year old drink driver from Napton, Warwickshire was spotted by a National Highways officer whilst patrolling the M6 southbound near Junction 3A Corley just before 4am on 29 January this year.

Most people don’t like drink and drug drivers as they know they increase the dangers to others on the roads.
