How was is that the police where able to catch the drunken ambulance driver Jonathan Knight?”
A paramedic has been sacked after he was caught driving an ambulance while twice the drink-drive limit – with four cans of beer on the passenger seat. Jonathan Knight, 33, was pulled over by police after he was spotted attempting to perform an illegal U-turn in the road. He was driving an unmarked emergency response car – a Volvo estate fitted with flashing blue lights to ensure he could reach an emergency quickly. Knight, who was on call at the time, failed a breath test – before officers found the cans on the seat next to him. Tests later revealed he was twice the drink-drive limit, with 89 microgrammes of alcohol to 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35mg. He has now been struck off the medical register following the incident in Plymouth, Devon, on August 27 last year. He was found guilty of misconduct and declared unfit to practice by the Health Professions Council (HPC).
