A woman has been arrested for drink driving after she was found to be more than twice the legal limit.
The driver was stopped as part of a Christmas drink driving campaign in Staffordshire.
Ironically, the Ford she was travelling in was adorned with a bumper sticker saying: ‘I’m not drunk, I’m avoiding potholes.’
Officers also found the woman’s 11-year-old son in the car at the time of her arrest.
Police shared an image of this and could not believe that the car had the sticker on.
