TRAFFIC cops have claimed a city driver took their time to stop at their request in order to apply aftershave and shove a mint in their mouth.
Road Policing Scotland revealed on Saturday that officers in Glasgow arrested the driver for alleged road traffic and misuse of drugs offences.

In a statement, the force said: "Taking ages to stop after we request it only to apply aftershave and shove a mint in your mouth won’t stop Glasgow Road Police smelling the alcohol on your breath or cannabis in the vehicle.
"One driver tried earlier and was arrested for alleged road traffic and misuse of drugs offences.
"Not buttoned up the back."
