A spokesperson for Sussex Police said: “Driving under the influence can have devastating consequences. There are penalties if you are convicted of drink or drug driving, including a minimum 12-month driving ban and a hefty fine.

“But there are many other consequences of being caught drink or drug driving, that can affect your everyday life, for the rest of your life.”
