A driver who initially denied being drunk behind the wheel has been banned from the roads for 12 months after changing his plea to guilty.
Michael Falade, 24, of Clifton Street in Cardiff, Wales appeared before the Isle of Wight Magistrates Court on 4th March this year but entered a not guilty plea to driving a motor vehicle when alcohol level above the limit.
The court heard that at 22:55 on 16th February this year, Police were called by a member of the public when they witnessed an Audi A4 vehicle swerving all over the road and almost colliding with oncoming traffic.
The vehicle – driven by Falade – was seen to pull up by the Natwest Bank in Ryde and the driver headed into the Travelodge on Lind Hill.
Officers soon arrived and located Falade inside the hotel where he failed a breathe test. He later went on to blow 41 on the evidential breathalyser.
Pleading not guilty to the offence, Falade initially said that he was below the legal limit when driving but had consumed 2 vodkas and coke in his hotel room upon returning – a hip flask defence.
The case was adjourned for the trial on 25th May and it was at this hearing last week that Falade, who has been in the UK since the start of 2021, changed his plea to guilty.
Magistrates banned him from driving for 12 months, fined him £306 and ordered him to pay £300 costs with a £34 surcharge.
More bad IW driving.
More imported low life to add to the growing total. Risking our loved ones lives and serious pain and injury because ‘they’ choose to be selfish, self centred, ignorant trash.
“Only been in the UK a while”
The UK attracts rubbish as it is too generous with free homes, money, education and health care, but WE all pay for the trash we never wanted here, NOT the Government but US.
Is Cardiff not in the UK then??
Read dear boy, read…. “at this hearing last week that Falade, who has been in the UK since the start of 2021″
As the ‘UK’ includes Wales, one can assume that this cretin, is a recent import.
One year on Mars, would not make an Earthling a Martian. A dog giving birth in a stable still has pups, not foals.
Typical Audi driver lol
