A 47-year-old motorist with five lifetime driving bans has allegedly been stopped by police when he was more than three times over the drink-drive limit.

The driver, who had eight driving bans in total, was stopped on the A96 near Kintore in Aberdeenshire last week during a three-day crackdown on uninsured and untaxed drivers.

Police sources indicated the motorist, who produced a reading of 116mg of alcohol per 100mg of breath, was likely to see his vehicle confiscated.
