The oldest person caught drink driving in the UK was a 100-year-old man - followed by a 95-year-old woman. New data from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has given a sobering insight to the country's problem with drink driving.
The figure show that four times as many men have had their records endorsed for alcohol-related motoring offences as women in the past five years. The data, obtained by Select Car Leasing, found that 152,956 men had their records endorsed with either driving or attempting to drive with an alcohol level above the legal limit or driving or attempting to drive while unfit through drink, compared to 38,157 women in the last five years.
The legal alcohol limit for driving in England, Wales and Northern Ireland is 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. A 100-year-old man holds the title of Britain’s oldest drink driver, with a 95-year-old woman the next oldest, HullLive reports.
