A VEHICLE hire company manager was almost five times the legal alcohol limit when stopped by police in Kelso town centre, Jedburgh Sheriff Court has been told.
Greg Robson had gone back to his home in The Linn, Kelso, after a drinking session at Jedburgh Rugby Club on May 5.
But when the 38-year-old was unable to get a taxi for his wife he drove into Kelso town centre where police noted he was driving with no lights.
He pleaded guilty to driving in Woodmarket, Kelso, with a breath/alcohol count of 100 microgrammes - the legal limit being 22.
Robson was disqualified from driving for 16 months and fined £350.
