Eight people have been disqualified from driving this week after being caught drink driving in the county.

Police are working hard to tackle the issue across Cambridgeshire as part of their annual crackdown and are asking drivers to rethink getting behind the wheel after consuming alcohol.

Those caught were:

  • Adam Wild, 19, from Great Gidding, Huntingdon, who was seen travelling over the speed limit, with a headlight out, in Crawthorne Road, Peterborough, on December 5. He was stopped by officers, breathalysed and found to be three times the limit. He appeared in court yesterday (December 8), where he was disqualified from driving for a year and eight months and fined £120.


  • Donna Hannan, 39, of Roman Way, Godmanchester, who crashed into a stationary car in The Causeway, Godmanchester, on December 4. She was breathalysed and found to initially be three times the drink drive limit after blowing 107 at the roadside. She was arrested and taken into custody where she provided a sample of 95. She appeared in court yesterday (December 8) and was disqualified from driving for two years and ordered to carry out 80 hours of unpaid work.


  • Tara Aujla, 22, of Tempsford, Sandy, who drove onto the grass verge in Barford Road, St Neots, on 3 December.

The final two were arrested last month, but were handed driving disqualifications this week.

He gave a roadside breath sample of 91 and on Friday (3 December) was disqualified from driving for a year and five months and fined £120.

Clarieta Hute, 39, of Newport, Gwent, failed to provide a breath sample after she crashed into a vehicle, causing considerable damage in Turnpike Road, Hampton Vale, Peterborough, on 1 November. She appeared in court yesterday (8 December) where she was disqualified from driving for two years and six months for failing to provide and fined £769.

Drink driving not only endangers the life of the driver, but also other road users around them. The legal limit is 35 but we recommend staying at zero.
