The vehicle, a Volkswagen Polo, was impounded.

Matthew Hart, aged 27, a builder of Ascot Road in St Mary Cray has been charged with drink driving, driving a motor vehicle otherwise than in accordance with a licence and driving without insurance.

He will appear at Bromley Magistrates’ Court on February 11.
