A MAN has been charged with alleged drink driving after a two-car crash in Irvine.
The 39-year-old was arrested on Monday afternoon and charged after allegedly failing a roadside breath test with a reading of 133 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath.
The legal limit in Scotland is 22mcg/100ml.
He was further charged with careless driving, driving without a licence or insurance, and attempting to pervert the course of justice following reports of the collision on the A78.
The accused is due to appear at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court at a later date.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Don't risk your lives or the lives of others by driving whilst under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
"Being convicted of these offences can lead to a 12-month driving ban and a fine of up to £5,000 and up to six months in prison."
