Timothy Espley, aged 30, was under the influence when driving a BMW 3 Series on Whitchurch Road in Shrewsbury.

A breath test found that Espley, who was caught on May 18 this year, had 82 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath - more than twice the limit of 35mcg.

Espley, of Langford Green, Harlescott, Shrewsbury, pleaded guilty at Kidderminster Magistrates Court to driving when above the legal alcohol limit.

He was banned from the road for 20 months and fined £120.
