Drunk Uber driver nabbed with passengers

An Adelaide Uber driver has lost his licence after blowing more than five times over the blood alcohol limit with fare-paying passengers in his car.

The 38-year-old man was stopped on Anzac Day at suburban Birkenhead where he blew 0.252, police said on Monday.

He's lost his licence for 12 months, had his car impounded for 28 days and will be summonsed to appear in court at a later date.

Uber drivers in South Australia are required to return a zero blood-alcohol level.
