The driver was stopped when concerned motorists dialled 999 after seeing a lorry ‘weaving across all four lanes of the network’.

A police rolling block was put in place behind the lorry to keep traffic away until the vehicle was brought to a halt in the outside lane.

The driver was breathalysed and found to be nearly three times over the drink drive limit but failed to provide another sample when he was taken into police custody.

He was later charged with failing to provide a specimen of breath and was remanded in custody ahead of an appearance at court.

South Yorkshire Police said the lorry driver was first spotted in Derbyshire, with officers from Derbyshire Constabulary initiating the rolling road block until the vehicle was stopped.

Police have now revealed how alarmed members of the public formed a rolling road block to bring him to a stop on the motorway near Meadowhall.

Officers from South Yorkshire Police described how the HGV was being driven north on the M1 when it was seen weaving from one side of the carriageway to the other last month.

“Some members of the public (fans of Police Interceptors no doubt) so concerned formed their own rolling road block until SYP’s finest could arrive to take over,” they said.

“The driver blew a whopping 90 at the roadside and was taken to custody where he failed to provide a specimen of breath.

“We can now report that the magistrate sentenced the driver to 10 weeks imprisonment suspended for 12 months and a 28-month ban from driving.

“Whilst we would never encourage members of the public to create their own rolling road block due to the risks involved, many thanks to all that were involved, from those acting as an RPG (Roads Policing Group) officer for a few minutes to those that called and provided video.”

The drink-drive limit in England, Wales and Northern Ireland is 35 micrograms per 100 millilitres of breath.

After being stopped, the driver was charged with failing to provide a specimen of breath and was remanded in custody ahead of his appearance at court.

The Star has asked police for more information, including the driver’s name.
