The incident took place on the outskirts of Leominster, near the south Shropshire border on Tuesday (Dec 3) morning.
Police in the town have used the example to warn people not to drive the morning after drinking.
PCSO Stephanie Harper, of Leominster police, said: “On this very nondescript Tuesday morning 8.20am, whilst you are travelling to work or taking the children to school, a male has just been arrested for blowing 133 on the road side breath test, on the edge of Leominster town.
“The legal limit is 35mg.”
The officer added: “Thankfully this danger has been taken off our roads.”
PCSO Harper also had some advice not to drive in the morning if you have been drinking alcohol the night before.
“We have officially entered the festive season and there are lots of parties, catch ups and nights out to be had.
“We all know as drivers that if you are drinking alcohol on your festive gatherings, that you should definitely not be driving its against the law.
“You also need to be very mindful about driving the morning after.
“The advice is not to drive in the morning if you have been drinking alcohol the night before.”
