Teacher arrested for drunk driving

A 25-year-old teacher was arrested early on Friday morning for drunk driving in Limassol at a busy area at the junction of Spyrou Kyprianou at Nikou Pattihi avenues.

According to police, shortly after 3am the man was signalled to stop, and a breathalyser test showed he had 87mg of alcohol instead of the permitted 22mg.

Both he and the car were taken to the local police station, however, according to police the man was too drunk to realise what was going on.

His wife was called to take the car while he remained in custody.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
