A man has been arrested on suspicion of drink driving after calling the police on himself.
North Yorkshire Police said the man, in his 50’s, called 999 just before midday on Monday.
The force said he told them he was “drink driving and doesn’t know what he is doing” after a heavy weekend in the Knaresborough area of North Yorkshire.
Officers found his vehicle within 15 minutes, and a roadside breathalyser test recorded the driver’s breath as having 118 micrograms of alcohol.
