A DRINK driver who was almost three times the limit has been disqualified from driving for more than two years.

Ayokunle Ajisafe, of Middle Street, Worcester, was found driving on the A4103 Leigh Sinton while the amount of alcohol in their breath was above the legal limit.

The 36-year-old was found with 103 microgrammes (mcgs) of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath. The limit is 35mcgs.

The offence happened on Thursday, June 13, and Ajisafe pleaded guilty at Worcester Magistrates Court when the case was heard on Thursday (August 15).

Ajisafe was given a community order and must complete 80 hours of unpaid work as well as handed a driving ban of 25 months. It will be reduced by 25 weeks if a course is taken.

The unpaid work was reduced from 120 hours after the guilty plea was taken into account.

Court costs of £85 and a £114 surcharge must also be paid in full by Thursday, September 12.
