A driver was found to be four times the legal limit after crashing into three cars in Wallasey late last night.
The car was abandoned after the crash and the driver fled the scene .
However, a team from the roads policing unit managed to track down the driver, who provided a breath test reading at the roadside of 147 - four times the legal drink-drive limit.
In England and Wales the drink-drive limit is 80mg of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood, 35 microgrammes per 100 millilitres of breath or 107mg per 100 millilitres of urine.
One alcohol unit is measured as 10ml or 8g of pure alcohol.
Anyone caught driving or attempting to drive while over the limit could face six months' imprisonment, an unlimited fine or a driving ban for at least one year (three years if convicted twice in 10 years).
If you see someone who you suspect is over the limit or a danger on the road call 999 and report it after making a note of the vehicle's registration number and a description (including colour and make) and a description of the drink driver and their name and address if you know it.
If you want to report a drink driver after the drink driving has taken place, you can call the police on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. Someone can still be over the legal alcohol limit the day after drinking.
