Police in County Durham have shared footage of a woman who was caught three times over the drink drive limit and then went on to berate officers who caught her.
As part of a campaign to catch drink and drug drivers across the region, Durham Police shared the shocking video.
The footage, from July this year, shows officers pulling over the woman before she delivers a reading of 114 on the breathalyser; more than three times over the legal limit.

It added: "That’s always the message to drivers, but officers keep finding people who choose to put themselves and the public at risk.
