Police officers have slammed a driver caught 154 per cent over the drink drive limit who was driving a mere 500 metres home.
Halesworth police officers said there needs to be "less drinking [and] more thinking" before people take to the roads.
Sergeant Lee, of Halesworth police, stopped a driver in Framlingham on Tuesday, December 17.
The driver had been drinking at the Railway public house on Station Road, and had left to drive home - less than 500 metres away - while being 154 percent over the drink drive limit.
"This driver was also arrested and provided a sample of breath in custody which showed them to be 154% over the drink drive limit," Halesworth police said.
"They were kept in custody overnight and appeared at Ipswich Magistrates Court the next day, receiving an eighteen month driving ban and a £400 fine."
