A member of the public reported seeing the incident to the police in which a car hit a barrier while leaving a service area.

Officers stopped Razvan Dima of West Water Crescent, Hampton Vale, Peterborough, who was found to be more than three times the legal limit

It happened on the 4th October.

The 45-year-old was also fined after admitting a charge of drink driving.

Dima appeared at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court on Friday (1 November), where he was disqualified from driving for two years and one month and told to pay a £461 fine after admitting the offence.

PC Nick Southern, the force’s casualty reduction officer, said:

“I would like to thank the member of the public for calling us to report Dima’s driving.

“If you witness dangerous driving, or have information about someone who has got behind the wheel while intoxicated, then I urge you to contact us as soon as possible so we can stop them before they harm themselves or other road users.”
