The court heard his green VW Golf was stopped on Jubilee Road South, at 7pm, on September 2, after a member of the public reported “poor driving.”

A test revealed he had 74 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, when the legal limit is 35 microgrammes.

On Wednesday, September 20, he was banned for 40 months, and given a 12 month community order.

He was ordered to pay £85 costs and an £85 victim surcharge.
