Joshua Howells had been banned from driving for a year in July when he admitted drug-driving, but that didn't stop him getting behind the wheel of a Ford Transit whilst over the drink drive limit on December 20.
The 28-year-old from Duke Street, Kington, was stopped on Faraday Road, Hereford, and gave a breath test result of 53 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35mcg.
