Long road ban for drink driver caught over triple the limit on A49 near Shrewsbury
A man has been banned from the road for four years after being caught at over three times the drink-drive limit.
Daniel Jones was stopped on the A49 at Hadnall, just north of Shrewsbury, on February 16 this year while at the wheel of a Vauxhall Mokka.
A breath test recorded that Jones had 106 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, more than three times the legal limit of 35 microgrammes.
At Telford Magistrates Court on Wednesday, the 37-year-old, of Werrington Road, Stoke-on-Trent, admitted drink-driving.
Jones was given a 48-month driving ban and a 12-month community order.
He was also ordered to pay £135 costs and a £114 surcharge.
