Police in Kiti in the Larnaca district nabbed a drunk driver sitting behind the wheel of his car after crashing into a lamp post in the early hours of Sunday, they said.
Officers received a call around 2.30am that a car had crashed into the pole and that the driver had fled the scene. However when they got there, they found the driver still behind the wheel and the engine still running.
The 32-year-old was given a breathalyser test that found he was five times over the limit, police said. He was also driving without insurance, licence, road tax and MOT since 2013.
He was taken to the Kiti police station and booked.

He was arrested in KITI taken to Larnaka police station where he was held until he passed a second breath test. While he was there his mate was allowed to take him some cigarettes, food and drink. When the case came to court he was fined €250 and given 3 penalty points which could not be put on his British driving license.

April 17, 2016 at 23:30Oh, really? Cannot believe it.
However, a friend of mine back then did almost same in 1995. I mean – the pole and he was drunk. The rest was OK, so police ended up with driving him to his home and sending his car to the garage through insurance company.
