He\u2019d been stopped for an identical offence only a few weeks previously!<\/p>\n<p>He reckoned he was over the limit because of a heavy session the night before. It doesn\u2019t say what time he was picked up, but if that were true then he must have drunk more than 30 pints! That would be enough to kill a normal gorilla.<\/p>\n<p>He was jailed for four months and banned for 66 months (nearly 3 years).<\/p>\n<p>One would hope that the idiot never gets another job driving lorries if he is so irresponsible. It\u2019s hard to imagine what he could have done to innocent drivers in the condition he was in &#8211; but to do it twice just takes it to another level.<\/p>\n<p>Callum Lines in that last story should consider himself lucky he lives in a place where you don\u2019t really get punished for breaking the law.
