A disqualified driver has been warned he could be sent to prison after refusing to take a breath test after being caught behind the wheel for a third time. 

Steven Clements, 28, was arrested after police stopped him driving a Fiat in Great Yarmouth late at night on December 12. 

Norwich Magistrates’ Court heard he admitted to officers that he had been drunk driving but had failed to take a breathalyser telling them: “I’ve not got a licence so it doesn’t matter”.

Prosecutor Stuart Cowen said the waste company worker had still been banned from driving having previously been disqualified for 12 months in 2019 and again for 36 months in August 2022.
