Drink Driver Causes Chaos on Motorway, Narrowly Avoiding Crashes

A shocking video has emerged showing a reckless driver heading the wrong way on a motorway, narrowly evading oncoming traffic while under the influence of alcohol. The incident, captured by CCTV, occurred on the M1 near Sheffield on March 9th at 2:45 am. According to South Yorkshire Police, the driver, a man in his 30s, was over three times over the legal alcohol limit when he drove down the fast lane into the path of oncoming traffic. Despite numerous calls to the police and evasive maneuvers by motorists, the driver continued on the wrong side of the motorway for two junctions before finally leaving the carriageway. Stopped by officers, the driver blew 125 micrograms of alcohol per 100 milliliters of breath, far exceeding the legal limit of 35. He was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated and dangerous driving and remains on police bail. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of drink driving and the potentially catastrophic consequences it can have on both the driver and other road users.
