AN American was stopped by police early yesterday morning for driving with more than three times the legal limit of alcohol in downtown Jing'an District.
The man drove past a breath-test checkpoint without stopping at the intersection of Yan'an Road and Fumin Road about 1:25am. He finally pulled his car over on Changde Road near Nanjing Road W. five minutes later as a police car chased him.
Following a breath test, the driver refused to take a blood test, police said. After more than an hour, he agreed to take the test about 3am.
A breath test showed he had an alcohol level of 2.46 milligrams per milliliter, three times the legal limit of 0.8mg/ml, said police.
They are waiting for blood test results before issuing a final penalty. Police did not disclose the driver's name or whether he had a license.
Expatriates' residence permits may be revoked if they are caught driving under the influence of alcohol, according to the Shanghai Exit-Entry Administration Bureau.
A southeast Asian caught drunk driving in August had his residence permit revoked, was ordered to serve 10 days' detention and fined 500 yuan (US$73.25).
