ONE of the drunkest drivers ever caught in Scotland is facing jail for being more than five times the limit.

Richard Farrer, 43, was pulled over and breathalysed and gave a reading of 192. The limit is 35.

Farrer was caught on October 31 in St Andrews Road, Crail, Fife. This is the main road out of the village.

He later appeared from custody and pled guilty to drink driving.

And yesterday, Cupar sheriff Charles Macnair QC warned him he faces a prison sentence.

Sheriff Macnair ordered background reports on Farrer and made it clear he would be locked up if he failed to co-operate with social workers preparing them.

He said: “These reports will be obtained. If they are not obtained with you on bail, they will be obtained with you in custody.

“If you do not turn up, your prospects of further bail are very remote.”

Farrer, of Anstruther, was bailed to await sentence in January.
