Traffic police on Highway 20 in the Ayalon Lanes apprehended a driver who was swerving dangerously. During the stop, officers discovered the driver had never possessed a license. A search of the vehicle revealed a bottle of vodka, and tests confirmed the driver was heavily intoxicated, with breathalyzer readings of 790 mcg and a more precise instrument showing 775 mcg.
Police records indicated a pattern of repeat offenses. This marks the third time the individual has been caught driving drunk, the eighth time for driving without a license, and the fifth time knowingly driving while his license was suspended by court order. The driver was immediately arrested and taken for further investigation and legal proceedings.
The incident occurred during a joint operation by the Traffic Division and the National Road Safety Authority called "Committed to Life," a national program aimed at reducing road fatalities, which includes increased police presence on roads.
