Police in the UK have arrested a motorist who was caught drink driving despite being disqualified from driving. The driver, whose identity has not been released, told officers he was unaware that his license had been suspended.
The arrest occurred after the driver was stopped on suspicion of driving under the influence. A breath test reportedly showed he was over the legal alcohol limit. The driver was taken into custody and later charged with driving while disqualified and drink driving.
According to local police, the driver's lack of awareness about his disqualification does not excuse the offense. A spokesperson said, "Ignorance of the law is no defense." The case is set to appear in court at a later date.
This incident highlights the importance of checking one's driving status, especially after any legal proceedings that could affect a license. Authorities urge drivers to verify their entitlement to drive before getting behind the wheel.
