Telford drink driver fined and banned after being caught around the corner from his home
A drink driver who was over the limit while behind the wheel of an Audi has been fined and banned from the road.
Alexandru Niculaie, aged 35, was caught in Woodside Avenue, Woodside, Telford - just around the corner from his home address in Woodrows.
A breath test found Niculaie, who committed the offence on December 7 last year, had 45 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35 mcg.
Niculaie, of Woodrows, Woodside, Telford, pleaded guilty to driving a motor vehicle while above the alcohol limit, and failing to answer bail.
He was fined £120 and banned from driving for 14 months. District Judge Steven Jonas also ordered Niculaie to pay £135 in court costs.
