Paul roper drink drives 154breath reading and only gets 10 points and fine he should have been banned , other pepole who have been done with lower breath readings get 4years band fine and other
He was found guilty of being drunk in charge, not of drink driving. He was obviously in the car and in possession of the keys, but not driving. No-one is against drink driving more than me, but the police can only deal with the evidence they are presented with.
I thought more than 9 points gets you a ban anyway?
